JAKARTA - The fourth week of Liga 1 2024/2025 presents an exciting party between Barito Putera vs Persik Kediri at the Sultan Agung Stadium, Bantul, on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Both teams had to settle for sharing one point after the match ended 2-2.

The match had been interesting from the start. The two teams played openly so they kept pressing.

However, the tap of the goal was only opened at the end of the first half. Right in the 45th minute, Ramiro Fergonzi's header opened Persik's advantage after taking advantage of Ahmad Nuri Fasya's cross.

The 1-0 score for the visitors lasted until halftime.

Continuing in the second half, Barito Putera was more aggressive in suppressing it from the start. They actually took 16 minutes to equalize through Exel Rukahu's goal.

However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review ruled the offside player first.

Shortly after that moment, the anticipated goal really arrived. Youssef Ezzejjari equalized in the 67th minute. He escaped the offside trap and was able to beat goalkeeper Leonardo Navacchio.

The position of the draw made Laskar Antasari more aggressive. Meanwhile, Persik has difficulty getting out of the pressure.

In the aftermath, Barito Putera managed to turn things around in the 79th minute. Ezzejjari scored a brace to put his team ahead 2-1.

The goal started with Lucas Morelatto who escaped from an offside trap on the right side of the attack. He immediately released a cross to the far post which was welcomed by Ezzejjari well.

However, Laskar Antasari's victory in front of his eyes disappeared because in the 90th minute Persik equalized.

The violation of the White Tiger defender, Kiko, in the penalty box led Ze Valente to the spot. Calmly, he managed to execute a 12 fit shot.

When injury time was seven minutes, the drama happened. Barito Putera has the opportunity to win again to secure three points.

They were awarded a penalty after Majed Osman made a handball in the penalty box. Unfortunately, Ezzejjari, who has become the hero of Barito Putera, squandered the opportunity.

Ezzejjari's penalty shot was predictable by Navacchio. This situation made the brace of the number 11 player who brought Laskar Antasari a comeback as if it were meaningless.

As a result, the score 2-2 lasted until the match was over.
