Meanwhile, another Super League fixture at Brawijaya Stadium, featuring Persik Kediri against Dewa United, experienced an unexpected interruption early in the second half. A torrential downpour led to significant waterlogging across parts of the pitch. The saturated conditions made normal ball movement impossible, prompting match officials to suspend play for a total of 60 minutes (2×30 minutes) as they awaited improved weather.
Before the temporary halt, Persik Kediri had established a comfortable 2-0 lead, thanks to goals from Ernesto Gomez and Jon Toral. Notably, Dewa United’s new signing, Ivar Jenner, was not included in their matchday squad. Upon the resumption of play, Dewa United managed to pull a goal back in the 58th minute through Victor Duarte, narrowing Persik’s advantage.
Despite Dewa United’s efforts to equalize, the scoreline remained 2-1 until the final whistle, handing Persik Kediri a hard-fought victory. This result sees Persik climb to 10th place with 25 points, while Dewa United is positioned just below them in 11th, with 24 points.
