Dewa United was able to surprise Persib Bandung. They put up a good fight in the third week of the 2023/2024 League 1 match which was held on Friday (14/7/2023) at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA). Persib was left behind 0-2 through goals from Ahmad Rusadi in the 35th minute and Alex Martins in the 59th minute.
Rachmat Irianto reduced the score 1-2 in 63 minutes. Dewa United benefited from the advantage in the number of players in the 68th minute after Febri Hariyadi was sent off by the referee for a second yellow card. Unfortunately, Ezra Walian successfully executed the free kick perfectly, forcing the score 2-2 in the final minutes.
“You can see the coach is disappointed, especially in the final result. But not on team performance. In a short time we were able to make the team fight against each other, and provide quality,” said Dewa United coach Jan Olde Riekerink.
Yes, the Dutch coach assessed that his players were able to carry out instructions properly when an urgent situation occurred. He had to change his game plan when Dimitri Kolovos was declared unable to play by the PSSI Disciplinary Commission (Komdis) four hours before kick off.
Suddenly Jan Olde’s plan, which had been prepared in advance, fell apart. But not with the reaction of a substitute player who can carry out the task properly.
“Our player Dimitris Kolovos received a message four hours before the match (from the PSSI Komdis) that he was suspended (banned from playing), as a team we certainly have a plan and we have to replace it. Therefore I am still proud of our team, and gave a very good performance, “he explained.
Persib was unable to score through an open play scheme, a sign that Tangsel Warrior’s defense was standing strong. According to Jan, Persib’s turning point can increase the intensity of attacks when his team loses too much ball.
“All the goals were scored from set-pieces, speaking of today’s match, the turning point was at 2-1. We lost the ball so easily in midfield, and goals were created from situations after that,” the 60-year-old coach assessed.
