Persiwa Wamena 3–0 Celebest FC
Indo D4 – 16 June 2026, Kick-off 16:10

Persiwa Wamena produced a dominant display to sweep aside Celebest FC 3‑0 at the Wamena Stadium, sending a statement to the rest of the Indo D4 division. The high‑altitude hosts overwhelmed their visitors with a relentless attacking performance from the first whistle.

First‑Half Onslaught
Persiwa took the lead inside ten minutes. A flowing move down the left ended with winger Markus Wenda crossing for striker Yohanes Elopere, who headed home from close range. The home side continued to press, and their second goal arrived in the 34th minute: midfielder Rully Tabuni picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful left‑footed shot into the top corner.

Second‑Half Dominance
Celebest FC attempted to reorganise after the interval, but Persiwa’s intensity did not drop. The third goal came in the 58th minute when a corner was met by centre‑back Yan Pahabol, who powered a header past the helpless goalkeeper. Celebest rarely threatened the Persiwa goal, managing only one shot on target throughout the match.

Altitude Advantage
Persiwa’s home ground at altitude has long been a fortress, and this match was no exception. Celebest players visibly tired in the second half, struggling to cope with the thin air and Persiwa’s high‑energy style. The win extends Persiwa’s unbeaten home record to six matches.

Standings Impact
This comprehensive victory moves Persiwa Wamena to the top of the Indo D4 table with seven points from three matches. Celebest FC, meanwhile, remain winless with two points and sit in ninth place. Persiwa’s goal difference of +5 puts them clear at the summit.

Player of the Match
Yohanes Elopere was a constant menace. The striker scored one, assisted the second goal, and led the press from the front. His hold‑up play and movement caused havoc for the Celebest defence all evening.

Looking Ahead
Persiwa Wamena will aim to maintain their momentum when they travel to face Persak Kebumen next week. For Celebest, a return home to face Persepam Pamekasan offers a chance to bounce back from this heavy defeat.
