SEMARANG - PSIS Semarang's victory over Persis Solo raised the confidence of Gilbert Agius' team in Liga 1 for the 2024/2025 season.

Successfully winning thinly at home to the opponent is a positive signal of PSIS. Dewangga scored the decisive goal, the national team player who managed to tear the opponent's goalkeeper's net at the end of the first half.

"Proud to the struggle of players who have worked hard and fought until the last minute by scoring goals through corner kicks. This is an important victory for PSIS," Agius said in the club's Instagram upload, quoted from ANTARA.

The Maltan coach assessed that his foster children could perform effectively and be accompanied by cohesiveness, hard work and cooperation as the key to Mahesa Jenar's victory.

"The first half we had better possession of the ball even though we were unable to create many chances. In the first half we were also able to control the course of the match played at home to the opponent," said Agius.

After winning at halftime, PSIS Semarang was under constant pressure from Persis Solo and it really overwhelmed Adi Satryo and colleagues.

"In the second half, Persis put a lot of pressure on us. But players can keep fighting until the game is over. It's not easy to defend a lot of corner kick and also set pieces because they have a good executor," he concluded.

Furthermore, PSIS Semarang has the opportunity to make three other points when hosting PSBS Biak in the third week of Liga 1 Indonesia at Moch Stadium. Soebroto, Magelang, Friday (23/8) at 15.30 WIB.
