PSMS Medan produced a statement performance in Indonesian Liga 2 on October 3, 2026, crushing Persikad Depok 4-0 at Stadion Teladan. The home side were ruthless in front of goal, scored in every phase of the match, and gave their supporters a convincing display of attacking football.

Match Overview

PSMS Medan started with intensity and never really let Persikad Depok settle. The opener came early, and once the home side had the lead, they controlled the tempo with quick passing and aggressive pressing. Persikad Depok tried to respond through long balls and wide breaks, but they struggled to keep possession under pressure.

The second half was one-way traffic for long spells. PSMS added goals through a mix of set-piece pressure and open-play combinations. By the final whistle, the 4-0 scoreline reflected the home side’s dominance in chances, territory, and confidence.

Key Moments

• 11th minute: Riki Candra opened the scoring with a precise finish after a flowing move down the left.
• 35th minute: Fajar Ramadhan doubled the lead with a header from a well-delivered corner.
• 58th minute: Adi Setyawan made it 3-0 with a low strike from just inside the box.
• 82nd minute: M. Rifqi completed the rout, finishing a counter-attack with composure.
• Full-time: PSMS Medan 4, Persikad Depok 0.

Tactical Story

PSMS Medan used width effectively, stretching Persikad Depok’s back line before attacking the gaps in the middle. Their midfielders pushed high to win the ball back quickly, and the front players were clinical when chances arrived. The set-piece routine for the second goal was particularly well executed.

Persikad Depok defended in a deep block for much of the game, but they could not hold possession long enough to relieve pressure. When they did win the ball, their counter-attacks were often isolated and easily contained. The visitors also struggled with aerial balls into their penalty area, which PSMS exploited repeatedly.

Standout Players

Riki Candra set the tone with the early goal and remained a constant threat with his movement. Fajar Ramadhan was dominant in the air and added a goal to a strong all-round display. Adi Setyawan controlled the tempo in midfield, while M. Rifqi’s late goal capped a lively substitute appearance.

For Persikad Depok, the goalkeeper made several saves to prevent an even heavier defeat, but the defensive unit as a whole had a difficult evening. Their captain tried to organise the back line, yet the speed of PSMS Medan’s attacks proved too much.

Table and Season Impact

This 4-0 win gives PSMS Medan a major boost in the Indonesian Liga 2 standings and sends a clear message to their promotion rivals. A dominant home victory, with four different scorers, highlights the squad’s attacking depth. Persikad Depok will need to improve their defensive shape and ball retention quickly, as the league schedule offers little time for reflection.
