Persija Jakarta's new striker, Alaaeddin Ajaraie, admitted he remains grateful after his debut goal against Madura United was disallowed because the referee decided to retake the penalty kicked by Maxwell Souza.
In the 18th week of the BRI Super League 2025/2026 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Alaaeddine managed to score a goal when he met the rebound from goalkeeper Mochammad Diky who saved Maxwell's penalty kick.
Alaaeddine performed his trademark celebration, but the goal was disallowed. The penalty was retaken, and this time Maxwell finished the job well.
