Player ratings

Thijmen Goppel runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Bali United make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Bali United — 7.73

1 for Mirza Mustafić, marked 7.73, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

A falling-out at Bali United

Jort van der Sande and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Whatever happens, Bali United do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match

Bali United see off PSIM

Three points for Bali United, 3‑1 the final word against PSIM in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Bali United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mirza Mustafić 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.

Player ratings

Diego Campos stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.85 on the card, and the Bali United support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Bali United

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Brandon Wilson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bali United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Saddil Ramdani runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 11 in, 7 out at Bali United

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 11 arrived, 7 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Match

The run at home goes on for Bali United

11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Boardroom

A new deal for Hendro Sulaeman

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Squad

Jort van der Sande 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 Bali United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Bali United

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Santa Clara tell Bali United: David Balliana is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Bali United promote Dimas Hardiyanto from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dimas Hardiyanto has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
