It's been an up and down season for both teams. Let's start with Hakurei United, which I don't care too much because of time constraints. The team is close to failure in progressing through the cup after being smashed my Arema, and also on the verge of being annihilated out of the NML spot after scoring 0 wins out of the first 4 games. But this team is 2nd on the league standings.
The Persebaya team, meanwhile, is struggling to promote in the league and is currently only 6th, but is close in locking down the NML spot and is progressing well in the cup after 1-0 win over Novelda CF
