11 November 2023

Jalak Harupat Stadium

Far in the west horizon, as the sun drew closer to its slumber, the sky transformed into an ever-shifting portrait. 

What had been a brilliant blue canvas just an hour earlier, was now awash in vivid streaks of fiery oranges, deep reds, and blazing pinks.

Wispy clouds, floating above the west horizon seemed to be set alight from within, glowing like hot embers against the deepening background of indigo and violet hues that crept in from the east. 

Down on the pitch, the lush green grass seemed to shine an almost electric emerald under the bright stadium lights that had just flickered to life. The freshly painted lines and crisp markings stood out in stark whiteness, ready to form the boundaries of an impending battle.

In the stands, the crowd was a rolling murmur of excitement and anticipation while more and more fans were flocking into the stadium.
