JAKARTA - PSIS Semarang reaped unsatisfactory results in the 19th week of Liga 1 2024/2025. Entertaining Persis Solo, the host was even crushed 1-2 at home.

The meeting of PSIS Semarang and Persis Solo took place at the Jatidiri Stadium, Semarang, on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 19.00 WIB. In that match, PSIS as the host fell behind Persis Solo.

PSIS had appeared aggressive in the early minutes. Two opportunities were even created through the actions of Gustavo Souza and Sudi Abdallah, but his shot was not on target.

Trying to get out of the host's pressure, Persis applies to playing more attacking. The strategy went well because finally the visitors were able to lead 1-0 through a goal scored by Ramadhan Sananta in the 20th minute.

Left behind by one goal made PSIS tighten efforts by playing more pressing. However, the attack built by Alfeandra Dewangga and colleagues is always deadlocked.

Instead of being able to catch a score, PSIS conceded again in the 32nd minute. Persis Solo doubled the score to 2-0 again through a goal scored by Ramadhan Sananta. The advantage was maintained by the visitors until halftime.

At the start of the second half, PSIS who missed the goal took the initiative to attack. In the 55th minute, PSIS threatened the Persis goal with an attack built by Gustavo Souza from the left side.

The Brazilian gave a measured pass to Sudi Abdallah who was actually able to outwit the Persis goalkeeper, Muhammad Riyandi, who was already advanced. However, the slippery field due to the rain made the ball out of control and the ball finally left the field.

PSIS continues to try to score goals. However, the attacks that were built have not yielded results.

On the other hand, the rain that did not stop made several points of the Jatidiri field began to be inundated. This makes the two teams' games run less than optimally.

PSIS' efforts to reduce the score were finally created in the 76th minute through a goal scored by a substitute, Septian David Maulana. Using Riyan Ardiansyah's cross, Septian's header failed to be driven away by Persis goalkeeper M. Riyandi, and made it 1-2.

David's goal made the spirit of the PSIS players increase. In the 83rd minute, PSIS again got a chance through Septian David, but this time the kick was still saved by the Persis goalkeeper.

Entering injury time, Persis had to play 10 people after their defender, Tutuarima, got a red card.

However, Laskar Samber's life can still maintain the advantage until the game is over.
