On the match day of 12th November 2023, Persiba Balikpapan welcomed Persewar Waropen FC in an Liga 2 encounter. Based on the key statistical parameters, the match culminated in a 3-1 victory for the away side, Persewar Waropen FC, undermining Persiba's home advantage.

Despite Persiba Balikpapan's higher possession of 58% in contrast to Persewar's 42%, they were not able to convert these possessions into meaningful attacks. The most notable discrepancy, and likely the factor that contributed most to the outcome, is the shooting accuracy from both clubs.

Persiba Balikpapan had 9 shots in total with the only 2 landing on target accounting for their meager goal. In sharp contrast, Persewar Waropen FC's accuracy was striking, landing 6 on target out of 9 shots taken, providing them with a comfortable 3-goal cushion.

This lack of accuracy from the home team may be attributed to the higher foul count of 12 compared to the 8 conceded by Persewar, indicating a more disorderly game from their side. This notion is further cemented by the 7 shots that they sent off the mark.

In terms of the defense, Persewar Waropen FC was also more robust, forcing Persiba Balikpapan into 2 offsides, which possibly hindered their offensive efforts. In addition, Persewar's goalkeeper made a total of 3 saves, indicating a higher efficacy in preventing the opponent's attempts, whereas Persiba's goalkeeper only made 1 save, which might suggest shortcomings in their defense.

Substitutions made by the home team also were more frequent (3 vs 2), indicative of a need to alter strategy and tactics mid-game, but this too did not equate to a more favorable scoreline for Persiba.

To sum up, despite a higher foul count and lower possession, Persewar Waropen FC pulled off an impressive away victory, reiterating the importance of shooting accuracy, offensive efficiency, and a robust defense, over mere possession dominance in football. The clear strengths shown in these areas heavily influenced their successful performance.
