The Makassar PSM will face Vietnam's Becamex Binh Duong in the ASEAN Cup AFC 2019 Cup semi-final second leg at the Pakansari Stadium, Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java, Wednesday (6/26/2019).

In the first leg the team nicknamed Juku Eja lost 1-0 to Becamex, they needed a two-goal victory to qualify for the final round.

PSM itself benefited from the delay of their fifth League 1 week schedule against Arema on Sunday. They had time for physical recovery and also preparation for the second meeting.

"We always carry out evaluations, now the atmosphere in the team is quite good," said Darije Kalezic. "This is enough and we don't need to do anything else," said the Bosnian coach.

"I only expected the second leg against Becamex Binh Duong and the focus was on the match, nothing else," Darije Kalezic said.

Yes, PSM has been awaited by the winner between Persebaya Surabaya and Madura United in the first leg of the 2018 Indonesian Cup semi-final at Andi Mattalatta Stadium, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Sunday (06/30/2019).

PSM can make a new history for Indonesian football on the Asian scene if they qualify for the Asean zone final. They will be the first Indonesian team to do it.

Last season Persija Jakarta was also beaten in the Asena zone semifinals, after losing to Home United (Singapore) with an aggregate score of 3-6.

While Persipura Jayapura has advanced until the semifinals in 2014, but at that time the AFC Cup tournament was still using the old format.
