Indonesia Soccer Championship
Persela v Bhayangkara Surabaya United 0-1 (Thiago Fortuoso)
Bali United v Sriwijaya 1-0 (Fadil Sausu)
Refs in the news again as the losing coaches blame poor decisions for their team's defeat. Sriwijaya's Brazilian striker Hilton Moreira went as far as to say he would rather lose a fair game 10-0 than lose 1-0 to dodgy penalty.
The ISC are responding to a flood of complaints by bringing in ref trainers from UEFA and the AFC to tell match officials the rules but I don't think that will change much.
