Match Recap
Alex, Liga 1's second-highest scorer with 17 goals, delivered the moment that mattered for Persebaya Surabaya, curling home the only goal of the game against PSIM Yogyakarta with nine minutes left to play. It was the kind of finish you expect from a player of his pedigree, timed perfectly to break a contest that had gone nowhere fast. Persebaya came into this Liga 1 fixture with just a draw from their opening game, and PSIM were in the same boat — two sides desperate for a first win, and it showed in the nerves on both sides. The Surabaya outfit have now won their only previous meeting with Yogyakarta, and this 1-0 result keeps that record perfect. Whether Alex's late goal was a drilled finish or a carefully placed effort, the 81st-minute clip is the one highlight on this page you need to see.
