The East Java derby between Persebaya Surabaya vs Arema FC at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Saturday, December 7, 2024, ended dramatically.

Persebaya won with a score of 3-2 over Arema which was confirmed in injury time.

Since the early minutes of the match, Singo Edan has been able to put more pressure on Bajul Ijo. Only in the 15th minute Persebaya came out of pressure.

In fact, they immediately scored the opener in the 17th minute with a counterattack. The goal started with Toni Firmansyah's action combing the right side before sending the ball to Bruno Moreira.

Bruno then directed the ball to Malik Risaldi in the penalty box. Malik saw that Flavio Silva's position was more ideal for shooting.

Sure enough, Flavio Silva did not waste a chance by firing a hard shot from close range.

The goal took Bajul Ijo even more to take over the game. It didn't take long, Persebaya was getting further away.

Malik Risaldi is now on the scoreboard to put Persebaya 2-0 up. The goal started with Toni's shot which was even Jath at Malik's feet. He immediately shot hard to break Arema's goal.

Left behind by two goals, Arema dominated possession to catch up on points.

However, Singo Edan is deadlocked. In fact, Bajul Ijo through several of his counter-attacks was able to trouble Arema.

Slavko Damjanovic made a mistake in anticipation that even went into his own goal.

Can reduce the gap, Arema continues to lock up Persebaya's defense in the remaining time of the first half. Their efforts almost paid off if Ernando Ari Sutaryadi did not make a brilliant save on William Moreira da Silva's shot.

Continuing to the second half, the match was fierce because both teams played openly.

Singo Edan's efforts to equalize only bore fruit in the 80th minute. William successfully did his job to make the match a 2-2 draw.

The penalty had drawn protests from Persebaya players which led to a second yellow card for Bruno Moreira due to strong protests.

The match was even more dramatic, the number of players was different and the score was balanced.

However, it was Persebaya who played more attacking. A number of opportunities they got, but failed to produce goals.

Meanwhile, Arema, who is superior in the number of players, also tried to threaten several times, but also none of them ended in goals.

When entering the fourth minute of injury time, the drama was born again. Persebaya carried out a quick attack through Malik Risaldi.

He pushed from the right side of the attack and then Anwar Rifai violated it in the penalty box.

The referee immediately pointed to the spot. Flavio Silva, who stepped forward as the executor, managed to carry out his duties to put Persebaya ahead 3-2. The score finally lasted until the game was over.

In other matches at the same time, Malut United and Dewa United had to settle for sharing one point.

The party is no less dramatic than the East Java derby. The reason is, the host of North Maluku United took the lead in the 69th minute after the first half without a goal.

The goal came two minutes after Ricky Kambuaya was sent off by the referee.

Losing in the number of players and trailing position 0-1 did not make the Children of the Gods give up.

Their efforts paid off in injury time in the second half, precisely in the 90+6 minute.

Egy Maulana Vikri forced the match to end in a 1-1 draw at the Gelora Kie Raha Stadium.
