Rachmat Irianto scored a solo run when helping Persebaya Surabaya win over PSIM Yogyakarta. Bajul Ijo coach Bernardo Tavares brought up Diego Maradona to comment on the goal.

Rian’s action amazed Tavares. He also gave the former Persib Bandung player a new nickname.
“I saw a goal today and I’ve never seen one before Rian previously. “I would say his name is Rian Diego Armando Maradona,” Tavares said on the ILeague website.
Persebaya has played two matches with Tavares. As a result, the team from the city of Heroes always wins.
Before PSIM, Persebaya brought by Tavares won an important victory over Malut United. At home, Persebaya won 2-1 over Laskar Kie Raha.
Persebaya has been waiting for a tough match in the Super League continuation. They will host Dewa United this weekend.
