JAKARTA - Persebaya Surabaya is getting stronger at the top of the 2024/2025 Liga 1 standings after overthrowing Madura United 2-1 in the 12th match at Gelora Bangkalan Stadium, Monday, December 2, 2024, WIB night.

Two winning goals for Bajul Ijo were contributed by Mohammed Rashid (44' and 84'). Madura United could only reply to one goal against Maxuel de Cassio da Silva (69').

Persebaya, who acted as a guest, had been pressing since the early minutes. They even had the opportunity to open points in the sixth minute through Francisco Rivera's action.

Unfortunately, Rivera's pass failed to be used by Flavio Silva and Kasim Botan who were in front of the goal mouth.

Bajol Ijo got another chance 10 minutes later. Toni Firmasyah fired hard from outside the penalty box, but Adhitya Harlan was still able to catch him.

Some of the next opportunities were born, but the incomplete finishing failed to open up numbers.

One of them was a chance from Bruno Moreira, but his shot in the penalty box was still blocked by Pedro Monteiro.

It was only in the 44th minute that Bajul Ijo opened the scoring. Mohammed Rashid successfully took advantage of the vomit ball. The 1-0 score for the visitors lasted until halftime.

In the second half, Persebaya immediately got a golden opportunity when the game had only been running for four minutes. However, Francisco Rivera's hard shot inside the penalty box was still wide.

Even though he was in a superior condition, Bajul Ijo actually strengthened the strength of the bang because he felt that the distance from one goal was not safe.

Malik Risaldi was included in replacing Kasim Botan. However, focusing on adding goals, Persebaya even missed.

Maxuel's shot failed to be blocked by goalkeeper Andhika Ramadhani which made the score 1-1.

The situation was enough to make Bajul Ijo panic. They immediately locked Madura United's defense in the remaining time to find another advantage.

In the 71st minute, Persebaya could take the lead again if Malik Rishaldi's volley did not widen.

Paul Munster's men were waiting for the goal to be born in the 84th minute. Rashid returned to the scoreboard after successfully converting a sweet pass from Bruno Moreira.

This advantage made Bajul Ijo strengthen the defense by refreshing the back line.

The score of 2-1 was also successfully maintained. Persebaya returned from home to Madura United with three points.

The tripoin strengthens Persebaya's position at the top of the 2024/2025 Liga 1 standings with a collection of 27 points.

Meanwhile, Madura United is getting worse in the relegation zone. Laskar Sapeh Kelap is still ranked 17th with only six points.
