JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya hosted PSM Makassar in the ninth week of Liga 1 2024/2025 at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Wednesday, October 23, 2024, WIB night.

Both teams had to settle for sharing one point after the game ended in the 1-1 draw. Yuran Fernandes scored first for PSM in the 16th minute before being equalized by Mohammed Rashid (45+4).

PSM took the lead after Ananda Raehan's free kick on the right side of the attack was successfully headed by Yuran Fernandes who was not guarded at the second post.

Left behind by one goal, Persebaya started to get out of pressure in the 20th minute. They began to create chances through Rashid's penalty box outer shot, but it was still narrowly wide.

Four minutes later, it was Francisco Rivera's turn to spread threats. His solo action broke through from the right side of the attack and ended with a strong kick. However, the effort still failed because the goalkeeper managed to deny it.

PSM does not remain silent. The visitors who take advantage of the counter-attack are able to press. The set-off ball scheme is a mainstay because they find it difficult to create opportunities from open play.

The scheme also made Persebaya wary. In the 36th minute, Ananda Raehan's free kick could be headed by Tito Okello, but Persebaya's goalkeeper could still anticipate.

In the remaining time of the first half, Bajul Ijo locked PSM. The effort was not in vain. The goal that was awaited also arrived at injury time.

A low kick from a free kick slid smoothly into the PSM net. The 1-1 score lasted until the break.

Entering the second half, Persebaya looked dissatisfied with the results of the series. Appearing in front of his own supporters, Bajul Ijo wanted to get maximum points.

No wonder, they started the second half by directly pressing PSM. Rizky Dwi Pangestu got the opportunity to welcome the cross in front of goal, but his flick still bounced.

When the game had passed an hour, Persebaya was almost superior. Starting from Rivera's cross, Kasim Botan grabbed the ball. Unfortunately, the ball still hit the crossbar.

In 10 minutes of normal time remaining, Bajul Ijo again had a chance to take the lead. However, Flavio Silva's business, which has faced goalkeepers, failed to use the opportunity to become a goal. His shot went wide.

In fact, Persebaya's goal arrived in the 87th minute. However, the referee disallowed the goal because Flavio was in an offside position.

No other goals were created until the game was over. The 1-1 score lasted to force both teams to share one point.

This result makes Persebaya temporarily move up to the top of the League 1 standings with 18 points, while PSM remains in fourth place with a collection of 16 points.
