The 30th September 2023 Liga 1 clash between Dewa United FC and Persebaya Surabaya ended in an exciting 1-1 draw. Despite the shared spoils, the match was full of drama, from an early penalty in the 16th minute to a flurry of yellow cards throughout the match and a late equalizer just before half-time.

Persebaya Surabaya kicked off proceedings with an early goal in the 17th minute, giving them an initial upper hand. However, they discovered that an early lead did not guarantee a smooth ride. The team's discipline was called into question as they received the first yellow card even before their opening goal in the 15th minute and another in the 29th, both in the first half.

Dewa United FC showed resilience by leveling the score just before the halftime whistle at the 51st minute. They also had an upper hand in set-piece opportunities, indicated by their corner kicks. Dewa United secured 7 corners as against Persebaya's 3. This advantage might have been a crucial factor in maintaining their resilient stance and earning the equalizing goal.

Looking into the offside statistics, Persebaya Surabaya was caught offside twice compared to Dewa United's single transgression. This could suggest that Dewa United's defensive line held their own, keeping a well-maintained high line, thereby causing their opponents to fall into the offside trap.

Despite Dewa United's tenacious fight-back, they were not entirely without fault. The home team also went into the referee's book twice for yellow cards at the 41st and 49th minute, all in the first half.

The foul count was within control, with Dewa United culpable for 4 fouls and Persebaya responsible for 2. A noteworthy incident was the red card awarded against the away team. This dismissal could have significantly impacted Persebaya's game plan, forcing them into a more defensive stance to protect what they had.

In conclusion, Dewa United FC seemed to be the stronger side based on corner kicks, and their performance in maintaining their defensive line which resulted in fewer offsides. However, both teams were at par in discipline as reflected in the similar count of yellow cards. Persebaya Surabaya, despite taking the lead, were put to a severe test by the tenacity of Dewa United FC and a red card that ultimately locked the match at a 1-1 draw.
