IQRO FC has once again proven why they are a force to be reckoned with in INDOLEAGUE 2024, following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the formidable Minang Saiyo Tigers FC (MSTFC). With many questioning whether IQRO could match the intensity and skill of MSTFC, this result has not only silenced the doubters but also solidified IQRO’s position as one of the top contenders this season.
The Match That Proved IQRO FC’s Grit
Going into Week 3, the football community was abuzz with speculation: Could IQRO FC truly compete with MSTFC? The Tigers had been dominant in their previous matches, and many saw this game as the ultimate test for IQRO. But IQRO FC didn’t just compete—they fought back and earned a well-deserved point.
MSTFC took the lead in the 40th minute, courtesy of a goal from K. Suharjono, who managed to get a touch on a corner kick delivered by S. Sampow. With the Tigers in control, it looked like IQRO might struggle to keep up with their fast-paced attack.
But the start of the second half brought a moment of brilliance from A. Vunisasaro. In the 49th minute, he made a stunning solo run, dribbling through the MSTFC defense and calmly placing the ball into the net to level the score. The crowd erupted as IQRO showed their resilience and ability to strike back when it mattered most.
IQRO FC Proves They Can Compete with the Best
For weeks, people questioned whether IQRO FC could go head-to-head with the league’s elite, and this draw against MSTFC proved their quality.

The addition of Salieu Alhassan Kamara to their squad has also strengthened their lineup, giving them an extra edge in attack. Kamara’s pace and finishing ability will surely add more firepower to IQRO’s game as they continue their quest for the title.
Minang Saiyo Tigers FC: Ready for the Battle

Sampow, they remain one of the most feared teams in INDOLEAGUE 2024. The draw may have slowed them down, but MSTFC will undoubtedly bounce back stronger, eager to reclaim their dominance.
Surau FC: The Quiet Power Waiting to Strike
Let’s not forget about Surau FC, who have quietly climbed up the table with commanding performances, including their recent 8-2 thrashing of Al-Aceh FC. With N. Ghazli firing on all cylinders, Surau FC is not a team to be underestimated. While much of the attention has been on IQRO and MSTFC, Surau FC is ready to challenge the top teams and won’t let IQRO and MSTFC have all the spotlight.
Surau FC has shown they can dominate games, and they have the firepower to shake up the race for the championship. They won’t sit back and let MSTFC or IQRO dictate the pace of the competition. Expect Surau FC to push even harder in the upcoming matches as they look to take control of the league.
Can Anyone Else Challenge the Big Three?
While IQRO FC, MSTFC, and Surau FC seem to be dominating the headlines, other teams like PS Kota Sydney, Nusantara United, Al-Aceh FC, and Mutiara Dewata FC still have the potential to cause upsets.
- PS Kota Sydney has already shown resilience and the ability to compete with the best.
- Nusantara United FC is still finding their form but has the talent to surprise anyone on their day.
- Al-Aceh FC and Mutiara Dewata FC may have struggled early on, but they both have the potential to make a run and shake things up as the season progresses.
IQRO FC: Can They Continue to Shine?

But the road ahead won’t be easy. With Surau FC lurking in the shadows and MSTFC looking to reclaim their dominance, IQRO will need to maintain their focus and consistency.
