JAKARTA - PSM Makassar held Bhayangkara FC to a goalless draw in the matchday 27 of the BRI Liga 1 2021/2022 which took place at Kompyang Sujana Stadium, Bali, Friday, February 26 night.

In the first half, both teams opened the game at a slow tempo so there were not many goal opportunities.

Bhayangkara seemed to dominate the game, but couldn't break into the PSM goal, which was guarded by goalkeeper Syaiful Syamsuddin.

In the 33rd minute, Bhayangkara FC got a good chance when Adam Alis sent a pull bait which was enhanced by Ezechiel Ndouasel's header, but goalkeeper Syaiful could still deny it.

Quoted from ANTARA, the Ramang Troops also got an opportunity with a similar scheme through a pull bait sent by Delfin Rumbino, but no PSM players welcomed him in front of goal.

In the last minute of the first half, The Guardians got a corner kick opportunity which was executed by Andik Vermansah, but still failed to produce a goal.

In the second half, Bhayangkara FC got the first opportunity in the 47th minute through Adam Salis who sent a soft pass in front of the goal, but Sani Rizky couldn't reach it.

Ten minutes later, Andik provided a pull pass in front of the Juku Eja's goal, but was immediately blocked by PSM defender Ganjar Mukti.

PSM also had a number of chances, such as in the 61st minute through Golgol Mebrahtu's free-kick and Jakob Sayuri's long-range shot in the 68th minute, but still failed to find the net against Bhayangkara FC.

Approaching the end of the match, PSM tightened the defense even more by bringing Wiljan Pluim to the back position so that it was increasingly difficult for Bhayangkara FC to break into.

Until the referee blew the long whistle, the two teams had not been able to break the deadlock so the match ended with a goalless draw.

With this draw, Bhayangkara FC, which failed to overtake Persib Bandung and Arema FC, is still in 4th place in the BRI Liga 1 2021/2022 standings with 54 points, while PSM is in 14th position with 29 points.
