13 saves: Harlan Suardi was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 13 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Match19 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for PSIM
0‑0 against Persija, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Market24 Aug 2026
Rendra Teddy 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 PSIM can pretend not to have heard.

No thanks: Xander Mulder rejects the move
PSIM had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at RKC Waalwijk, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Words at PSIM training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Ramos Mingo 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.

Coritiba tell PSIM: Diogo Batista 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
Persik take the points off PSIM
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Nermin Haljeta ran the middle of the pitch — 6.81
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 6.81, and not one of them will make a highlights package.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Ahmad Agung
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
