JAKARTA - Two matches for the 27th week of Liga 1 2024/2025 were presented on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, WIB night. Persebaya Surabaya hosted PSIS Semarang at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, while Malut United arrived at Persita Tangerang at Gelora Kie Raha Stadium.
Persebaya failed to win what was already in sight after the match ended in series 1-1. In fact, Bajul Ijo needed three points to continue to defend the race for the league title.
Bruno Moreira became an actor in Persebaya's aggressive appearance from the start. However, PSIS goalkeeper Syahrul Trisna appeared slick by stemming a number of opportunities.
In the first half of injury time, Bajul Ijo was finally able to break the deadlock. Francisco Rivera entered the scoreboard after receiving Flavio Silva's mature pass which broke through the left side of the PSIS defense.

Silva's flat cross landed immediately greeted Rivera who stood free in front of goal.
Continuing to the second half, PSIS tried hard to catch up. Septian David Maulana and colleagues continue to strive to find loopholes in Persebaya's defense.
However, in the final 10 minutes of normal time, Persebaya's goal is still safe. The back line that appears disciplined is the reason PSIS finds it difficult to get a golden opportunity.
In the remaining time, Persebaya actually threatened to find a second goal to secure the advantage.
There is a golden opportunity created in injury time through a quick counter-attack. Unfortunately, the chance from Oktafianus Fernando was wasted.
Instead of being able to secure victory in front of our eyes, disaster actually came for the hosts.
PSIS scored a return goal shortly after Oktafianus' chance, 90+4 minute to be exact. Ernando's decision to go forward cut the cross fatally.
He failed to cut the ball perfectly and the ball fell at the feet of Septian David Maulana. Septian David coldly struck the ball and made it 1-1 in a draw that lasted until the game was over.
Shifting to another match, Malut United managed to get three points when Persita came to visit.
Malut United's goals were scored by Firman Ramadhan (11') and Rifal Lastori (75'). Meanwhile, Persita's goal was presented by Ahmad Hardianto (13').
This result made North Maluku United move up to fifth in the 2024/2025 Liga 1 standings with a collection of 43 points from 27 matches.
