Tactical Story

Persis Solo set up in a 4-3-3 that became a 4-2-3-1 out of possession, and their high press forced PSBS into repeated errors. The wide players stretched the defence, creating space for midfield runners. Once PSBS went down to ten men, Persis simply overloaded the flanks and attacked the box with numbers. PSBS Biak Numfor could not keep possession long enough to relieve pressure, and their defensive line was repeatedly exposed.

Standout Players

Ramadhan Sananta was the obvious star with a hat-trick, but Fernando Rodríguez’s brace and link-up play were equally damaging. Alexis Messidoro controlled the tempo and scored a brilliant free-kick, while Arkhan Fikri added energy and a late goal from midfield. The Persis goalkeeper had a quiet night but maintained concentration to secure the clean sheet.
