PSIM Yogyakarta came off to a strong start scoring their only goal right in the first half at the 30th minute mark. On the other hand, Semen Padang FC had to wait until the 69th minute of the second half to even the scoreboard.

Aside from goals, another crucial aspect that contributed significantly to the outcome of the match was the set pieces, particularly corner kicks. Semen Padang FC dominated in this area with an impressive tally of 12 versus PSIM Yogyakarta’s 3. This evidence suggests an overwhelming attacking pressure from Semen Padang FC.

However, despite their aggressive offense, Semen Padang FC only managed to materialize a single goal, hinting at their struggle in the final third of the pitch or that PSIM Yogyakarta’s defense was highly disciplined. This is further evidenced by the single offside call against Semen Padang FC while PSIM Yogyakarta had none.

On the disciplinary side of the match, Semen Padang FC racked up five yellow cards, three of which were in the second half nearly around when they scored their tying goal. PSIM Yogyakarta was more disciplined comparatively, with a total of three yellow cards. Indeed, the accumulation of yellow cards by Semen Padang FC suggests a scrappier game from them, which could have disrupted their rhythm and affected their goal-scoring efficacy.

In conclusion, despite an aggressive attack from Semen Padang FC as indicated by the high number of corner kicks, their inability to convert these chances along with accumulating significant yellow cards possibly hampered their performance ending the match in a draw. As for PSIM Yogyakarta, the early goal and disciplined defence allowed them to secure a point from this away match.
