Bhayangkara immediately put pressure on Arema’s defense after the referee blew the kick-off whistle. But Arema, who actually opened the scoring first through Ginanjar Wahyu in the 13th minute, welcomed Muhammad Rafli’s bait.
The Guardian increased the rhythm of the game to catch up. However, goalkeeper Julian Schwarzer showed a brilliant performance to prevent Arema from conceding a goal.
The hosts did not stop their attack which forced Arema to strengthen the defence. However, towards the end of the match, Arema managed to lock in the victory through Charles Lokolingoy’s goal, forcing Bhayangkara to go through five consecutive matches without three points.
