The match, played under the afternoon sun at 16:10 local time, showcased disciplined defending and a solitary moment of quality that proved decisive.

Match Overview

Both teams entered the fixture looking to climb the Indo D4 standings, but it was the home side that made the brighter start. Porsiba Bukit Asam, backed by a passionate local crowd, controlled possession in the opening exchanges and created several half-chances before finally breaking the deadlock.

The only goal of the game arrived midway through the first half. A well-worked move down the right flank ended with a precise cross that found the head of a Porsiba striker, who directed the ball past the Persiker goalkeeper. The assist came from a marauding full-back who had pushed high into the opposition half.
