Inp.polri.go.id - Bandarlampung.  Bhayangkara Presisi Lampung FC mounted a dramatic second-half comeback to defeat Arema Malang 2-1 at the PKOR Way Halim Stadium on Tuesday (10/3/2026) following two critical ejections for the visiting side. 

Despite Arema taking an early lead through Joel Vinicius in the closing moments of the first half, the match pivoted when the referee issued red cards to Arema’s Pablo Oliviera and Dalberto, leaving the visitors with only nine players on the pitch.

Bhayangkara eventually scored the equalizer in the 74th minute through Privat Mbarga following a corner kick, before securing the 2-1 lead in the 86th minute when Moussa Sidibe successfully converted a penalty after Dendy Sulistyawan was fouled inside the box, according to antaranews.com.

The victory propels the police-affiliated club, Bhayangkara Presisi, to sixth place in the Super League standings with 41 points from 25 matches. Meanwhile, Arema Malang remains in 11th position with 31 points. The match was characterized by high physical intensity, with the numerical advantage ultimately allowing Bhayangkara to dominate possession and exploit gaps in Arema's depleted defensive line during the final quarter of the game.
