Adhyaksa vs PSPS Match Recap - Nov 1, 2025

In a remarkable display of attacking football, Adhyaksa triumphed over PSPS with a whopping 7-3 victory at the Banten International Stadium on November 1, 2025. This match not only entertained fans but also solidified Adhyaksa's position in the Liga 2 standings, pushing them to second place with 14 points, while PSPS remained sixth with 9 points.

From the opening whistle, it was clear that Adhyaksa was in command. They struck early, scoring a goal in the 7th minute that set the tone for the afternoon. The home side's confidence surged with each passing minute, and by the 22nd minute, they had already found the back of the net three times. The relentless pressure paid off again in the 35th minute, as they rounded off their first-half scoring spree with a fourth goal.

Despite being on the back foot, PSPS managed to respond just two minutes later. A quick counter-attack allowed them to break through Adhyaksa's defense, and they pulled one back in the 37th minute, momentarily igniting hopes of a comeback. However, Adhyaksa quickly extinguished those hopes, continuing their offensive barrage well into the second half.

In the 68th minute, Adhyaksa scored again, extending their lead to 5-1. But PSPS, known for their fighting spirit, responded with another goal in the 78th minute, showcasing their determination. Still, it was all about Adhyaksa on this day.

As the clock ticked into stoppage time, Adhyaksa added two more goals - one in the 90th minute and another in the 90+8 minute - sealing the deal with a final score of 7-3. PSPS managed to score one more consolation goal in the dying moments of the match, but it was too little, too late.

Looking back, my prediction that Adhyaksa would edge out PSPS in a close encounter fell dramatically short. This explosive match highlighted just how powerful Adhyaksa can be when they find their rhythm, a stark contrast to the tightly-contested affair I imagined.

This win is particularly crucial for Adhyaksa, as they inch closer to the top spot in the league. Currently positioned second, they are riding a wave of momentum after their recent performances, including a solid win against Sumsel United just one week prior. The confidence that comes from such a dominant victory could serve them well as they prepare for their next clash with Sriwijaya FC on November 7.

For PSPS, the road ahead will require reflection and adjustment. After a rollercoaster of a match, they need to regroup before facing Persiraja Banda Aceh on November 8. Despite today's setback, their previous win against Persekat showed they are capable of surprising results, but consistency remains a significant challenge.

As both teams look ahead, the stakes only increase. For Adhyaksa, the taste of success will fuel their ambition to challenge for the league title, while PSPS must harness the lessons from this match to turn their season around. The drama of Liga 2 continues, and it promises to be an exciting chase toward the finish.
