Match

6 matches without a win for Persija

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Persija are no longer polite ones.

Market

Aditya Warman asks to leave Persija

“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.

Match

Persijap take the points off Persija

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at Persija

Yuda Editya was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A month that belonged to Dony Tri Pamungkas

The young player of the month award goes to a 21-year-old at Persija who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

Squad

Thales gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Persija

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Bruno Tubarão's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Allano

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Arkhan Kaka sends Persis through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Arkhan Kaka obliged against Borneo. 2‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Persis.

Market

PSIM come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Persis did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Vukašin Vraneš decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Market

Althaf Alrizky hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Persis can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Roman Paparyga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Persis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dimitri is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Dušan Mijić gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Tempers go at Persis

Althaf Alrizky was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Honours even between Persis and Persija

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
