Persiwa Are Back
That nonsense of a game between PSS and PSIS when the professional footballers decided they didn't want to win the game and scored a bunch of own goals continues to have repercussions.
As the two top teams in their group, PSS and PSIS would have gone through to the semi finals and though they were scared to play Pusamania at least they would have stood a chance of promotion and their fans would have been a credit to the ISL.
But because they decided to play silly buggers, Persiwa took their place in the semi finals and now we have the Highwaymen back in the top flight. The same Persiwa who refused to travel to an away game at PSS during the Divisi Utama play off.
Pusamania defeated PSGC on penalties while Persiwa overcame Martapura to confirm their spot in the final game to decide the champions.
But yes, Persiwa have been rewarded with a spot in next season's ISL.
