Teknowarta – The East Java Derby between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya turned into an uncomfortable spotlight for Hansamu Yama Pranata. The defender, who previously played for Persebaya, became the central figure of criticism after his team suffered a crushing 4-0 defeat in their latest Super League encounter.
Instead of receiving support, Hansamu found himself on the receiving end of sarcastic “thank you” messages from Persebaya’s supporters, the Bonek. His substandard performance was perceived by many as the catalyst that allowed Persebaya to dismantle the Arema FC defense at the Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium in Bali.

The match began with high intensity, as Arema FC initially showed aggression. Despite creating several scoring opportunities through Gustavo Franca Amadio and Dalberto Luan Belo, they lacked the finishing touch, leaving the score deadlocked at 0-0 going into halftime. Persebaya also had their chances, but both teams struggled to break the stalemate despite an open and energetic first half.
The game shifted dramatically after the break. Persebaya Surabaya shifted gears, breaking the deadlock in the 49th minute when Francisco Israel Rivera Davalos capitalized on an assist from Mihailo Perovic. This goal served as a pivotal turning point; Arema FC lost their composure, while Persebaya grew in confidence, consistently putting pressure on their opponents’ backline.

Arema FC’s situation worsened as their defense crumbled. Hansamu Yama, stationed at the heart of the defense, repeatedly struggled to anticipate the Green Force’s rapid counter-attacks. Persebaya doubled their lead in the 75th minute through Jefferson Junio Antonio da Silva, exploiting the growing disorganization within Arema’s defensive ranks.
The misery continued for Arema FC as Francisco Rivera netted his second goal of the match in the 81st minute, taking advantage of poor coordination at the back. The defeat was finalized in the 86th minute when Mikael Alfredo Tata scored the fourth, sealing a dominant 0-4 victory for Persebaya.
Amidst the heavy loss, the focus remained fixed on Hansamu Yama. Often considered a defensive anchor, his performance was starkly underwhelming. Player ratings released post-match told a grim story, with Hansamu receiving a 5.3—the lowest score among the entire Arema FC squad. By comparison, his teammates Matheus Da Conceicao Nascimento and Arkhan Fikri earned ratings of 8.0 and 7.9, respectively, highlighting his struggles on the pitch.

The reaction from the Bonek on social media was immediate and biting. Rather than offering direct insults, they chose to mock the defender with sarcastic expressions of gratitude. “Suwon seng akeeehh lurkuu (Many thanks, my friend)!” wrote one supporter, with others chiming in with, “Suwun gais,” and “Suwun sing akeh mas,” essentially thanking him for his poor performance.
Some supporters even pointed out the intense pressure Hansamu is facing from Arema’s own fans. “Stay strong, check his Instagram, they are tearing you apart there,” noted one Bonek, illustrating the volatile atmosphere surrounding the East Java Derby.
