PSIS could then reply in the 29th minute. Laskar Mahesa Jenar awarded a penalty, over Taisei Marukawa considered a foul in the penalty box.
The moment occurred when Taisei dueled Frank Rikhard. When the ball rolled past Rikhard, the Barito Putera player fell.

However, the referee still pointed to the spot. Jonathan Cantillana was then able to execute a 12-kick fit into a goal. Not long after, PSIS was able to take the lead through Wawan Febrianto’s goal, and the 2-1 score lasted until the game broke up.
