MAKASSAR, SOUTH SULAWESI: PSM managed a narrow 1-0 win over Persema Malang in their Indonesian League soccer match at the Matoangin Stadium here on Thursday night.

The only goal was scored by Miro Baldo Bento in the second half off of a penalty shot to end its drought in the previous matches.

The two teams were involved in a tight match. They both managed to create chances but could not convert them into a goal until the 75th minute.
