Gasiba Bulukumba secured a vital home victory over Persebri Batanghari at the Bulukumba Sports Complex, winning 2–0 in an Indo D4 encounter that saw the hosts dominate from start to finish. The result lifted Bulukumba into mid-table security while leaving Persebri stuck in the relegation conversation.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Gasiba Bulukumba imposed themselves with aggressive pressing and quick transitions. Persebri Batanghari struggled to cope with the intensity and were pinned back in their own half for long spells. The home side’s patience paid off just before the half-hour mark when a well-worked corner routine ended with a powerful header from central defender Arifin Syah to make it 1–0. The goal visibly deflated the visitors, who had been hoping to contain Bulukumba’s attack.

Key Moments

• 28’ – Goal: Arifin Syah meets the corner at the near post, glancing the ball into the far corner. 1–0
• 67’ – Goal: A swift counter‑attack. Winger Rizky Pratama cuts inside from the left, exchanges a one‑two with the striker, and slots low past the Persebri keeper. 2–0
• 78’ – Red card: Persebri’s midfielder is shown a second yellow for a reckless challenge, reducing the away side to ten men for the final quarter.

Tactical Story

Gasiba Bulukumba manager Doni Saputra set his team up in a 4‑3‑3 that stretched the pitch, forcing Persebri’s defence into uncomfortable wide positions. The midfield trio of Hendra Gunawan, Fajar Ramadhan, and Andi Makassar outnumbered their opponents and controlled the tempo. Persebri tried to respond with long balls to their lone striker, but Bulukumba’s centre‑backs won every aerial duel. After the red card, the result was never in doubt.

• Arifin Syah (Gasiba Bulukumba) – Opened the scoring and was a rock at the back, making six clearances and winning every header.
• Rizky Pratama (Gasiba Bulukumba) – Constant threat on the wing, scored the second goal and created three chances.
• Dimas Setiawan (Persebri Batanghari) – The goalkeeper made several sharp saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
