New Semen Padang coach Imran Nahumarury expressed gratitude that his debut with Kabau Sirah ended in victory after defeating hosts PSBS Biak 2-0 in the 25th week of the 2025/2026 BRI Super League at Maguwoharjo Stadium.
Semen Padang's two winning goals in this match were scored by Guillermo Fernandez in the 70th and 90+4th minutes.
"We as the coaching staff are certainly grateful. Even though we only had two days to prepare, the players performed exceptionally well. They were able to execute their tactics, especially in the second half. While we initially tried to play more patiently in the first half, we made changes in the second half and our counterattacks were successful," Imran said, as quoted from the official I.League website.
These additional three points also temporarily move Semen Padang up two spots from 18th to 16th with 20 points. This puts them level on points with Persijap Jepara and Madura United FC, who are above Kabau Sirah.
This situation has temporarily forced Persis Solo to drop to the bottom of the table with 17 points, with them still facing Bali United in their 25th week match.
