Ernando Ari Admits Mistake in Persebaya Surabaya’s Draw Against Persija Jakarta

Goalkeeper Ernando Ari acknowledged his mistake that cost Persebaya Surabaya a victory against Persija Jakarta — the match ended in a 1-1 draw at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta.

The crucial error occurred when Ernando Ari left his penalty area to secure the ball — this decision created an opportunity for Rayhan Hannan, who capitalized on the situation by scoring from a tight angle in the 61st minute.

“Quite disappointed with the draw,” stated Ernando Ari after the Liga 1 2024/2025 week 28 match.

The Bajol Ijo goalkeeper admitted his rash decision to leave the goal area — forcing his team to settle for a point share with Macan Kemayoran at their opponent’s home ground.
