Indonesia Cup Semi Final Action
Yesterday saw the first leg of the Indonesia Cup Semi Finals and both games were accompanied by some controversy.
Persebaya defeated Semen Padang at the Bung Tomo Stadium with two goals from Mat Halil, the second deep in injury time.
Persebaya had a player sent off and play was also held up for 15 minutes as they bitched and whined about the ref. Given the volatility of an element of Persebaya's support at times, a recent game was marred by riots, this can only be seen as deliberate intimidation of the match officials but hey, that's only an assumption.
The other semi saw Persibo defeat PPSM 2-1.
The second legs will be played 27 June.
