Indonesian Liga 1 | 9 May 2026, 20:00 WIB

A lacklustre 0–0 draw at the Manahan Stadium saw Persis Solo FC and Persebaya Surabaya cancel each other out in a match that promised more than it delivered. Despite several half‑chances, both goalkeepers enjoyed a quiet evening, as the game drifted to a stalemate that suits neither side’s ambitions.

Match Overview

Persis Solo enjoyed the better of the first half, with Moussa Sidibé forcing a sharp save from Persebaya goalkeeper Ernando Ari. After the break, the visitors grew into the contest, but a combination of wayward finishing and resolute defending kept the scoreboard unchanged.

Key Moments

• 23' – Sidibé’s header from a corner is tipped over by Ari.
• 41' – Persebaya’s Sho Yamamoto drives wide from 20 yards.
• 58' – Persis substitute Irfan Bachdim shoots straight at the keeper from a promising position.
• 77' – Persebaya’s Bruno Moreira has a goal ruled out for offside after a VAR check.

Tactical Story

Persis Solo tried to dominate possession through short passing, while Persebaya relied on quick transitions through wingers Yamamoto and Moreira. Both defences held their shape well, and a heavy pitch prevented fluid attacking moves. The result reflects a contest where caution trumped creativity.

Standout Players

• Ernando Ari (Persebaya Surabaya) – Made a couple of crucial saves to preserve his clean sheet.
• Jandia Eka Putra (Persis Solo) – Commanding at the back, winning aerial duels and starting attacks.
• Moussa Sidibé (Persis Solo) – The most dangerous attacker, but lacked support.

Table Impact

Persis Solo remain in seventh place, missing a chance to climb into the top four. Persebaya stay fifth, now five points off the Liga 1 leaders with a game in hand. A draw that feels like a missed opportunity for both.
