Persijap earn first point of season with draw against Java United
Juan Douglas da Silva equalised in the 60th minute, while a VAR review denied Java United a second goal.
Persijap Jepara collected their first point of the Super League season by holding visitors Java United to a 1-1 draw at Stadion Gelora Bumi Kartini on 24 October. The seventh-round result left Persijap bottom of the standings, with Java United in 11th place.
Ciro Alves put Java United ahead with an accidental goal. During a scramble inside the penalty area, a Persijap defender's attempted clearance struck Ciro in the stomach and rolled into the net.
Juan Douglas da Silva brought the hosts level in the 60th minute. Gustavo Almeida then appeared to restore Java United's advantage in the 75th minute, finishing after Ciro's through ball evaded the defence. A VAR review found Gustavo offside, however, and the goal was disallowed.
Persijap goalkeeper Sendri Johansyah kept the scores level in the 90th minute with an acrobatic save from Gustavo's close-range attempt. The hosts also had an opportunity to take all three points, but an unmarked Rendi Saepul sent his effort wide of the left side of Java United's goal from close range.
