Liga 1 2023/2024 Results: Dewa United Overthrow Persebaya 3-0

JAKARTA - Week 31 of Liga 1 2023/2024 presents the Persebaya Surabaya vs Dewa United battle at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Dewa's son succeeded in bringing home three points in a 3-0 victory.

Dewa United almost opened the scoring in the 12th minute. However, Ricky Kambuaya's shot in the penalty box was still narrowly wide of Persebaya's goal.

Six minutes later, Egy Maulana Vikri produced a good chance through a long-range shot. Unfortunately, his efforts were still overturned by goalkeeper Andhika Ramadhani.

Persebaya was completely under pressure throughout the first half. In the 38th minute, they almost conceded if OJ Porteria's speculative shot didn't jump slightly.

Dewa's son finally brought disaster to the hosts in the 40th minute. Starting from Egy's short ball into the penalty box, Ricky Kambuaya controlled the ball well before releasing a lob that passed Andhika Ramadhani.

Winning one goal did not make Dewa United relax the attack. Egy almost added to his team's goal if his free kick didn't hit the bar in the 44th minute. The visitors' 1-0 lead lasted until halftime.

In the second half, the hosts had a number of chances, but no one headed for the goal.

In fact, Dewa United increased their advantage in the 69th minute. The action of Majed Osman accelerating past several Persebaya defenders ended with a short pass in front of the goal.

Ahmad Nufiandani easily threw the ball into the Persebaya goal which was without guard.

Being above the wind made Dewa United not happy. They continue to look for additional goals.

Sure enough, three minutes after the second goal, their counter-attack scheme paid off. Ricky Kambuaya passed the last four defenders of Persebaya from the middle of the field.

He then faced one on one with goalkeeper Andhika Ramadhani. Instead of executing himself, he passed to Alex Martins who easily threw the ball into the opponent's goal.

Persebaya, who was looking for goals, was left motionless by the visitors. They even worsened in the 90th minute after Ripal Wahyudi was given a red card following Egy's elbow.

The 3-0 score lasted until the game was over. Dewa United managed to get three points from Persebaya's cage.

This result makes the opportunity for the Children of the Gods to penetrate the top four still wide open. Now, they have collected 47 points.

Meanwhile, Persebaya is still struggling on the middle board by occupying 19th place. Bajul Ijo has already packed 39 points.
