Persebaya defeats Football West All Star in friendly match in Australia

Persebaya Surabaya concluded their pre-season tour in Australia with a 2-0 victory over Football West All Star at Sam Kerr Stadium.

Fransisco Rivera and Rizky Dwi — emerged as the heroes of Bajul Ijo’s victory with each contributing one goal in the friendly match.

Coach Eduardo Perez expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance — particularly in the first 20 minutes when his players managed to control the game effectively.

“In today’s match, I think we started the first 20 minutes very well. We controlled the ball and created several opportunities,” stated the Spanish coach.

“After that, it was natural when the opponents started pressing high, and at that point we had some difficulty connecting two or three passes. The opponents pressed very well,” he added.
