Persijap, Persis Solo Stalemate in Scoreless Liga 1 Match Marred by Late Red Card
JEPARA, Indonesia (Interstat) — Persijap and Persis Solo played to a 0-0 draw in Liga 1 Indonesia on Thursday at Stadion Gelora Bumi Kartini.
The match was defined by defensive discipline and ill-discipline, with Persis Solo defender Tiri receiving a red card in the 78th minute after earning a yellow earlier. Five other players were booked in a chippy contest, including two in stoppage time.
Neither side could break through, leaving both near the bottom of the table. Persijap now has five wins, 14 losses and six draws. Persis Solo sits at three wins, 13 losses and eight draws.
The result defied a pregame projection that gave Persijap a 54% chance to win.
