SEAToday.com, Jakarta – Pemain Timnas Indonesia, Marselino Ferdinan, akhirnya mencatatkan debutnya bersama Oxford United dalam pertandingan melawan Exeter City di putaran ketiga Piala FA di St James Park, Sabtu (11/1).
Marselino masuk sebagai pemain pengganti pada menit ke-89, menggantikan gelandang serang Siriki Dembele. Selama kurang lebih 10 menit di lapangan hingga menit ke-90+8, pemain berusia 20 tahun tersebut mendapatkan kartu kuning pada menit ke-90+5.
Debut ini menjadi momen yang dinantikan setelah Marselino masuk daftar susunan pemain pada empat pertandingan beruntun Oxford di Championship bulan November, yakni melawan Hull City, Watford, Middlesbrough, dan Sheffield United.
Sayangnya, pertandingan ini berakhir dengan kekalahan Oxford United. Tim tamu sempat unggul lebih dulu lewat gol Matt Phillips di menit ke-14. Namun, Exeter City membalikkan keadaan melalui dua gol Demetri Mitchell pada menit ke-22 dan ke-40, serta tambahan gol dari Vincent Harper pada menit ke-64.
Oxford United semakin tertekan setelah Tyler Goodrham mendapat kartu merah di menit ke-81, sehingga harus bermain dengan 10 pemain. Kekalahan 1-3 ini membuat Oxford United terhenti di Piala FA.
Selanjutnya, tim asuhan Gary Rowett akan menghadapi Plymouth Argyle, yang saat ini berada di dasar klasemen Championship, di laga tandang di Home Park pada Rabu (15/1) pukul 02.45 WIB.
Hingga kini, Oxford United menempati peringkat ke-17 klasemen sementara Championship dengan 28 poin dari 25 pertandingan, hasil dari tujuh kemenangan, tujuh hasil imbang, dan 11 kekalahan.
