Persebaya Surabaya scored twice in stoppage time to defeat Madura United 3-1 in the Super League on 26 October. In the other match, Bhayangkara FC and PSM Makassar finished without a goal at Stadion Sumpah Pemuda.

Miguel Pinto put Persebaya ahead in the 22nd minute at Stadion Gelora Bung Tomo in Surabaya. The hosts controlled the opening half but could not add to their lead before the interval. Madura United adopted a more attacking approach after the break, before Paulo Sitanggang was sent off in the 65th minute.

Despite being reduced to 10 men, Madura United drew level through Gali Freitas, who beat Persebaya goalkeeper Reza Arya. The visitors then conceded a stoppage-time penalty, with the decision standing after a VAR review. Yuran Fernandes converted against Angga Saputra to restore Persebaya’s advantage, and Yann Mbella added their third goal in the 90+6th minute.

The goalless result against PSM left Bhayangkara as the only team still unbeaten in the 2026/2027 Super League. Despite that record, they occupied eighth place in the standings.
