Previously, Koko Ari Araya was recorded as being rewarded with a yellow card in the 35th minute.
“The first, especially what happened to Barito’s second goal, why did I withdraw Koko for less than 10 minutes because that was part of our tactics,” said Aji Santoso after the game.
“Because (Koko Ari) has received a yellow card, I’m afraid he will get a red card later, for that I replaced Koko Ari,” said the former Persela Lamongan coach.
