PSS Sleman has the opportunity to avoid the relegation zone in the 2024-2025 Indonesian League 1 after defeating hosts PSIS Semarang with a score of 2-1 at the Jatidiri Stadium, Semarang.
Quoted from the PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) page, PSS's two winning goals were scored by striker Gustavo Tocantins (8', 42'), while PSIS scored a consolation goal through Lucas Baretto (68').
Three points from the match make PSS now collect 28 points from 32 matches. The record opens up their chance to escape relegation with the note that they must be able to win at least their last two matches in Liga 1 this season.
Meanwhile, PSIS is still stuck at the bottom of the standings because they have only collected 25 points from 32 matches.
When meeting PSIS, PSS appeared with high attacking spirit from the start despite having the status of away team.
As a result, when the match was still eight minutes old, Gustavo Tocantins was able to score the first goal for PSS after outwitting the opposing goalkeeper Adi Satryo.
Continuing to press, PSS was awarded a penalty which was executed precisely by Tocantins. PSS was two goals ahead until halftime.
