Persada Sumba Barat Daya 0–3 Persiwa Wamena: Dominant Display from Wamena

Persiwa Wamena delivered a commanding performance away from home on 13 June 2026, thrashing Persada Sumba Barat Daya 3–0 in an Indo D4 Group B fixture. The result underlined Wamena’s title credentials and exposed the defensive frailties of the hosts at Stadion Sumba Barat.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Persiwa Wamena took control of the game. Their high press forced errors in Persada’s build‑up play, and they quickly established a two‑goal lead before half‑time. The hosts rarely threatened, managing just one shot on goal across the 90 minutes.

Key Moments

• 14th minute: Wamena’s midfielder Frans Sahetapy opened the scoring with a crisp volley from the edge of the box after a corner was only partially cleared.
• 38th minute: Striker Moses Tabuni doubled the lead, latching onto a through ball and calmly slotting past the advancing goalkeeper.
• 72nd minute: Substitute Yohanis Wanimbo completed the rout with a header from a well‑delivered free kick.

Tactical Story

Persiwa Wamena’s 4‑3‑3 formation overwhelmed Persada’s 5‑4‑1 setup. The visitors’ full‑backs pushed high, creating overloads in wide areas. Persada’s midfield was consistently overrun, allowing Wamena to recycle possession and find gaps between the lines. The home side’s inability to retain the ball meant they spent most of the match defending deep, and they could not mount any sustained counter‑attacks.

Standout Players

• Moses Tabuni (Persiwa) – A constant menace with his pace and finishing, contributing a goal and an assist.
• Frans Sahetapy (Persiwa) – Opened the scoring and dictated the tempo from central midfield.
• Herman Ufat (Persiwa) – Solid at the back, making several crucial interceptions and starting attacks from defence.

Season Context

The emphatic win kept Persiwa Wamena in second place in the Indo D4 Group B standings, three points behind the leaders with a game in hand. Persada Sumba Barat Daya, meanwhile, slipped to seventh and now face a fight to stay in the mid‑table pack. The result also extended Wamena’s unbeaten run to four matches.
