Match of the Day: Bali United Putri 2–2 Persebaya Putri
The standout fixture of the matchday was the high-energy draw between Bali United Putri and Persebaya Putri at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta. Persebaya struck twice inside the opening 30 minutes, but Bali fought back with a superb second-half display to level the match and earn a share of the points.
The draw keeps both sides in the upper half of the table, though neither will be fully satisfied with the result given the chances each team created.
Persib Putri Impress at Home
In Bandung, Persib Putri ran out convincing 3–1 winners over visiting Arema Putri. Their fluid attacking movement and pressing from the front caused Arema problems throughout. The victory moves Persib Putri into the top three heading into the midweek fixtures.
PSIS Putri Claim Away Win
PSIS Putri were the other big winners of the matchday, coming from behind to beat Semen Padang Putri 3–1 on the road. It was a confident away performance and suggests PSIS are building genuine momentum this season.
Talking Points
- Goalkeeping under the spotlight: Both goalkeepers in the Bali vs Persebaya match made crucial second-half saves — the kind of individual quality that can decide league races.
- Persija's attacking struggle: A goalless draw at home to PSS Putri raised questions about Persija's cutting edge in the final third. They dominated possession but lacked a clinical finish.
- Away form trending up: Three of the four matches this round produced or nearly produced away wins, a sign that the gap between home and away sides is narrowing as teams settle into the season.
