JAKARTA - Arema FC managed to beat Persipura Jayapura 1-0 in the fifth week of the 2021 Liga 1 match at the Madya Stadium, Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday night. Carlos Fortes scored the single goal for the Singo Edan team.
For Eduardo Almeida's men, this is the first victory after four weeks before they always failed to finish the match with three points.
Launching Arema FC's official website, Carlos Fortes' goal came from Johan Alfarizi's free kick, the ball was headed by Sergio Silva which hit the Persipura crossbar. Crisis ensued and Carlos Fortes managed to snatch the ball to bring Arema 1-0 up in the 7th minute.
Left behind by 1 goal makes Persipura try to reply. But the efforts of Gunansar Mandowen to Todd Rivaldo Ferre have not yielded results.
Persipura coach Jacksen F. Tiago tried to rotate by fielding two players at once before the first half ended. He fielded Theo Filo and Henrique Motta to replace Ricardo Salampessy and Ian Louis Kabes.
Entering the second half, Persipura again made substitutions. The player Rumakiek was played to replace Ricky Kayame.
The presence of Rumakiek is enough to give color to the Persipura attack. In the 63rd minute, the 19-year-old player got a chance that could still be driven away by Arema goalkeeper Adilson Maringa.
Retaliation attacks continue to occur before the game was over. Adilson Maringa was made to work hard, one of which was to block a shot on target that was released by Todd Rivaldo Ferre.
Arema FC managed to maintain a 1-0 advantage over Persipura until the referee ended the match. After the match, Almeida praised his players by calling his team's victory the fruit of hard work.
"We have no special secret to winning games. We may not be the strongest team in this competition but also not the worst team," Eduardo Almeida told a news conference.
"We just work hard every day to get the results," he said.
Meanwhile, Jacksen F Tiago looks very disappointed and admits that his foster children make many mistakes.
"The children played very slowly, there were many mistakes and our aggressiveness was not optimal," said Jackson.
This result makes Arema FC move up to 10th place in the 2021 Liga 1 standings with 6 points, while Persipura is in 15th place with 4 points.
