Arema FC's victory was thanks to a brace from Joel Vinicius and another goal contributed by Gustavo Franca.
In the first half, Semen Padang FC immediately appeared "stinging" by appearing fast and troubling Arema FC's defense until the middle of the first half.
But when, entering the 25th minute, Arema FC's midfield position filled by Gabriel Silva, Gustavo Franca, and Valdeci Moreira appeared tactical to support the movement of Dalberto Luan and Vinicius who filled the attack line position.
When attacking, the team nicknamed "Singo Edan" immediately played with four attackers up front, forming a 4-2-4 formation. This made it difficult for Semen Padang's defense to anticipate.
