JAKARTA - Persik Kediri managed to close week 14 of the 2025/2026 Super League with a 2-1 victory over Semen Padang. This result is also a sweet gift for the coach's separation, Ong Kim Swee. The meeting between Persik and Semen Padang took place at the Brawijaya Stadium, Kediri on Thursday, November 27 afternoon.

Competing in front of his own supporters, Persik immediately stepped on the gas. As a result, Jose Enrique put the hosts 1-0 up in the 16th minute through a header that was used by actor Ezra Walian.

Winning at the beginning of the first half added to the host's confidence. In the 34th minute, Persik doubled the advantage. This 2-0 score is Ezra Walian's donation after getting a pull pass from Jose Enrique. The 2-0 score for the hosts' advantage then lasted until the referee blew the halftime whistle.

Continued in the second half, Semen Padang tried to control the game. A series of pressures were launched to dismantle the opponent's defense.

Semen Padang's efforts only paid off in the 77th minute through Samuel Cristianson Simanjuntak's action. Samuel's shot hit the opponent's leg before finally breaking into Persik's goal.

The goal sparked the motivation of Kabau Sirah's troops to catch up. Semen Padang's repeated attacks forced Persik to survive.

Unfortunately, no additional goals were created until the game was over. Persik Kediri managed to secure three points after beating Semen Padang 2-1.

This result is a sweet farewell for coach Ong Kim Swee who chose to separate from Persik Kediri in the middle of the Super League competition this season.
