Solo (ANTARA) – PSS Sleman surrendered 0-1 to Borneo FC Samarinda in the Indonesian League 1 match at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java, Thursday night.
In the first half both teams attacked each other to score the winning goal.
In the 27th minute, PSS created a chance through Estaban Vizcara’s narrow shot targeting the left of the Borneo goal, while Irkham Mila’s shot in the 39th minute was blocked by Borneo goalkeeper Nadeo Winata.
Borneo FC itself often endangers the hosts but is always thwarted by PSS Sleman’s back row players.
In the second half the buying and selling attacks became fiercer, but PSS Sleman conceded in the 59th minute with a header from Cadenazzi who took advantage of Stefano Lilipaly’s dead ball kick from the left side of the field to make it 1-0 for Borneo FC.

Meanwhile, Borneo FC Samarinda coach Pieter Egge Huistra admitted that he was not happy with his team’s performance in the first half, but thought his team played better in the second half.
