In this tightly contested Championship match between PSS Sleman and Persiba Balikpapan, the home team emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Persiba Balikpapan initially took the lead early in the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from PSS Sleman. However, a compelling second-half performance from the home side saw them turn the game around with two crucial goals. A pivotal factor in PSS Sleman's comeback was their ability to adapt and improve their attacking precision, surpassing the lethargic nature of their play from the first half.

One of the standout statistical markers in this match was Persiba Balikpapan's dominance in corner kicks, generating six compared to PSS Sleman’s two. This statistic suggested a frequent presence in the attacking third but was not capitalized into goals, owing in part to PSS Sleman’s robust defensive organization during set pieces. In contrast, Persiba Balikpapan’s inability to stay onside, being caught out four times, hampered their attacking continuity, offering PSS Sleman the chance to reset and regroup defensively.

Disciplinary issues were more prominent for PSS Sleman, with three yellow cards, though it didn’t culminate in any expulsions, preserving their full squad on the field. The fouls committed were nearly even, highlighting the physical nature of the match, yet Sleman's strategic use of fouls might have disrupted Persiba's play. The ability of PSS Sleman to convert more of their limited attacks into goals compared to Persiba’s inefficiency in front of goal was a decisive factor in the outcome, showcasing their superior tactical execution when it mattered most.
