The match between Arema FC and Persib Bandung was a closely contested encounter, with the away team edging out a 2-1 victory. Arema FC started strong, taking an early lead at 00:11:54 of the first half. Their early goal seemed to result from a well-executed team play, capitalizing on Persib Bandung's initially shaky defense. However, despite having more corner kicks (5 against Persib's 3), Arema could not maintain their attacking momentum throughout the match.

In terms of defensive discipline, Persib Bandung took a hit when they received a red card. Despite being reduced to ten men, they displayed remarkable resilience and adaptability. This discipline shift forced the away team to tighten their defensive lines and capitalize on counter-attacks, which ultimately paid off. They equalized shortly after the half-time break and secured the winning goal in the game's closing stages, demonstrating effective use of tactical adjustments following the red card.

The foul count was nearly identical, with Arema FC committing 12 fouls compared to Persib Bandung's 13. However, the significant difference was in cautionary discipline—Arema received one yellow card, while Persib managed to avoid any, aside from the crucial red card incident. This match's outcome was significantly impacted by Persib Bandung’s ability to adapt to being one player short and effectively counter-attacking, overshadowing Arema's early dominance and corner kick advantage.
