In this game held in Liga 2 on 30 September 2023, 08:00 EEST, PSIM Yogyakarta managed to secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Malut United FC. The match was quite competitive with both teams having their fair share of clashes, which in specific instances, led to infringements and subsequent penalties.

PSIM Yogyakarta nailed the only goal in the 59th minute of the second half, presenting a strong defensive strategy afterwards that saw them sail through the match. This sole goal proved to be the deal-breaker in the closely contested affair, landing PSIM Yogyakarta their victory.

On the disciplinary front, Malut United FC players seemed to struggle, receiving four yellow cards and one red card - a factor that significantly contributed to their loss. Two of these yellow cards were received in the first half (11th and 30th minute), putting the team on the back foot quite early in the game. The red card, most likely due to a second bookable offense, further weakened Malut United FC's squad, making it even harder for them to fight back.

On the contrary, PSIM Yogyakarta had fewer disciplinary issues with only two yellow cards in the second half. PSIM Yogyakarta managed to keep their composure, focussing on the game, which significantly reflected in their performance.

Adding to PSIM Yogyakarta's advantage were the offsides. The team was caught offside twice, pointing towards their aggressive forward play, while Malut United FC recorded no offsides, indicating their more reserved play or potential lack of penetrating the defense aggressively.

Interestingly, despite Malut United FC possessing more corner kicks (10) compared to PSIM Yogyakarta's single corner kick, they couldn't convert them into goals. This points towards potential weaknesses in their set-pieces and finishing, which clearly impacted the final result heavily.

In conclusion, PSIM Yogyakarta demonstrated superior performance by capitalizing on important opportunities while maintaining effective discipline on the field. Though Malut United FC had their moments, their performance was marred by disciplinary issues and deficiencies in converting set-pieces into goals which ended up being decisive factors in the final outcome.
