JAKARTA - PSS Sleman again swallowed unsatisfactory results during the continuation week of Liga 1 2024/2025. Entertaining Barito Putera in the 25th week, Monday, March 3, 2025, the Javanese Super Elang was subject to 1-2.
Regarding this unsatisfactory result, Pieter Huistra as PSS Sleman coach has his own views.
He said that PSS had actually performed well in the first half and had even opened up the advantages disallowed by the referee.
"PSS started the game well especially in the first 20 minutes. The team knew how to handle the ball and had a good chance. As we know, we scored a goal, but it was not legal," he said in a statement after the match, quoted on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
"In my opinion, the game went well, Barito Putera had a chance, but there was an important moment at the end of the first half."
"In a free kick, I've trained enough free kicks and to anticipate it doesn't have to be conceded."
"The second half tried to improve and unite the team to see the players do what I want. There were also players who were tired until some didn't understand each other when the second goal came."
