At the end of normal time, PSIM and Bhayangkara appeared to be in a draw with a score of 1-1. This situation forced the match to be continued to the extra round to get the winner.
When the additional half had only lasted six minutes, PSIM player Roken Tampubolon managed to tear Bhayangkara FC's goal net through a hard kick from inside the penalty box. This result ensures PSIM Yogyakarta as the winner.
Erwan Hendarwanto explained that the key to team success is cohesiveness and hard work.
"The key to our victory is the cohesiveness and extraordinary hard work of all players and team officials. Thank you also for the support of Brajamusti and the people of Yogyakarta," Erwan concluded.
