Éber Bessa damages knee ligaments — 140 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 140 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match22 Aug 2026

Persita through in the cup

A 1‑1 win over Arema, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match19 Aug 2026

Persita through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Arema, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ahmad Nur Hardianto asks to leave Persita

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vintage Bae Sin-Yeong — 8.05

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.05, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market24 Aug 2026

Persita say no — this time

The offer from Maluku Utara United for Ryuji Utomo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Alexandre Ramalingom falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Persita

Dejan Račić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Esal Sahrul

Marked 8.36 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad17 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Éber Bessa

148 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Persita lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market17 Aug 2026

Terms done: Fairuz Ohorella is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and PSBS Biak waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Persita is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Persita

Javlon Guseynov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Persita against Persib

2‑3 to Persib, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Alexandre Ramalingom falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Rayco was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Igor Rodrigues

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Igor Rodrigues, and the manager let it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Aleksa Andrejić ran the middle of the pitch — 6.55

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 6.55, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Ricky Sulaeman answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Matheus Alves, 33, rolls back the years — 8.02

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.02 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Alexandre Ramalingom stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alexandre Ramalingom and Persita agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Rayco in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Persita this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alexandre Ramalingom falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match1 Aug 2026

Persita see off PSBS Biak

Three points for Persita, 2‑0 the final word against PSBS Biak in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market3 Aug 2026

Persita and Éber Bessa are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

A satisfied Ricky Sulaeman

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Ricky Sulaeman could afford to be generous.

Looking ahead3 Aug 2026

A reunion for Kurniawan Ajie

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Persik in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Pablo Ganet

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
