At the start of the second round of the Pegadaian Big 12 Group X match Liga 2 In 2023/2024, both PSIM and Semen Padang will make several player changes. Semen Padang also appeared braver in the second half.
Meanwhile, PSIM, which maintains its solidity even though it appears with 10 players, continues to seek opportunities to create opportunity after opportunity with the help of the support of supporters present at the Mandala Krida Stadium.
In the final minutes of the match, PSIM players seemed more aggressive because they needed a win to get to the top of the group standings, while Semen Padang players who only needed a draw to stay at the top of the standings often postponed the game.
In the end, one Semen Padang player, Agus Nova Wiantara, was given a red card by the referee for committing an unnecessary violation by pulling a PSIM player to the ground when the opposing player tried to immediately start building an attack near the PSIM goal.
However, less than a minute later, the match between PSIM Yogyakarta and Semen Padang ended. Semen Padang remains at the top of the standings with 7 points, while PSIM has six points remaining in third position.
This position is still temporary considering that another match between Persiraja Banda Aceh and PSMS Medan was still taking place when the match at the Mandala Krida Stadium ended.
