Tactical Story

Persiwa Wamena deployed a 4-4-2 formation, using the pace of their wingers to stretch Triples Kediri’s backline.

• Bayu Prasetyo (Persiwa): Made two excellent saves to preserve the clean sheet. Commanding presence in the box.
• Rangga Aditya (Triples Kediri): Unlucky not to score; his free-kick hitting the bar was the highlight of his performance.

Table Impact

The victory lifts Persiwa Wamena to 2nd place in Group C with 14 points from 9 matches, strengthening their promotion hopes. Triples Kediri remain in 8th place with only 7 points, and the loss puts further pressure on their campaign to avoid relegation.
