Dewa United and Bhayangkara FC played to a 2-2 draw in their Super League encounter on Friday, September 11, 2026, at the Banten International Stadium in Serang, according to reports from multiple outlets covering the fixture. The match saw the visitors take the lead twice before a late penalty from Dewa United salvaged a point for the hosts.
Bhayangkara FC Takes Early Control in Serang
The visiting side started the match on the front foot despite facing logistical hurdles ahead of the fixture. According to match reports, the team had to travel by boat across the water due to the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau prior to their arrival in Serang. That travel disruption did nothing to blunt their attacking intent on matchday.
Bhayangkara FC broke the deadlock in the 29th minute. Mauricio Andres Vera drove down the left flank, slipped past defensive cover, and delivered a precise pass to Milan Ristovski. Despite being marked by two defenders, Ristovski maneuvered free and slotted past the goalkeeper to make it 1-0.
Denilson Responds for Dewa United
The home side took only four minutes to find an equalizer. In the 33rd minute, Taisei Marukawa created space down the left side and sent a cross into the penalty area, where Denilson Pereira Junior met the ball to level the score at 1-1.
Just before the halftime whistle, Bhayangkara FC reclaimed the advantage. Jefferson Brenes scored deep into stoppage time, converting in the 45+5th minute to send the visitors into the break with a 2-1 lead.
Late Penalty Secures a Draw
Dewa United spent much of the second half pressing for a second equalizer as the tempo remained high. The breakthrough arrived in the 85th minute when the referee awarded a penalty to the hosts. Denilson stepped up and converted the spot-kick for his second goal of the night, bringing the score level at 2-2 and securing a share of the points.
Standings Context and Upcoming Fixtures
The result marks a slight stumble for Dewa United following a strong start to the campaign. In the opening week of the Super League season, Dewa United secured a 1-0 away victory against Persik Kediri. Meanwhile, Bhayangkara FC collected their second draw, having opened their season with a 1-1 stalemate against Persebaya at home.
