Persebaya's Missed Opportunity Against PSIS: Key Moments That Led to a Draw

Persebaya Surabaya's attempt to close the gap on second-place Dewa United in the 2024-25 Liga 1 standings was halted by a last-minute goal from PSIS Semarang in a 1-1 draw. Despite taking the lead with a first-half goal from Francisco Rivera, Persebaya’s victory slipped away when Septian David Maulana, former Indonesia national team player and captain of PSIS, scored in injury time.
This draw left Persebaya stuck in third place, unable to overtake Dewa United, who held a one-point advantage. The match also marked a missed chance for Persebaya to replicate their previous successes, where they had defeated big teams like Persib Bandung and PSM Makassar.
The game ended in frustration for the home fans, as a late miss from Oktafianus Fernando further sealed the fate of the match. Despite the draw, PSIS secured a valuable point as they continue their battle against relegation, staying just above the danger zone in the standings.
