I suppose you are all familiar with mainstream infos like, who topped the table? Which teams were relegated? Who was the top scorer? Etc. Well, in this blogpost, I’d like to share a broader statistical facts of the 2013 ISL season. Using only an Excel file (containing 20+ sheets) and sourcing all data from http://www.ligaindonesia.co.id, here are some facts from the 2013 ISL:
1. TV Broadcast
As usual, ANTV held the exclusive broadcasting rights of the ISL. But for the 2013 edition, they shared the rights with their bunkmate under Vivanews media holdings, TvOne. The split was based on scheduling. ANTV took the weekend matches while TvOne got the weekday matches.
Out of 306 matches, ANTV and TvOne broadcasted 180 (58.8%). Out of the 180, ANTV broadcasted 99 matches (98 live, 1 delayed – 55%) while TvOne broadcasted 81 matches (80 live, 1 delayed – 45%).
Persib emerged as team with the most number of matches broadcasted with 30, which means that all of their home games were broadcasted, and only 4 of their away games in Papua were not broadcasted. Their ability to attract many sponsors is one of the reason why they got the number.
In the 2013 ISL regular season, there were not even a single match in Papua region being broadcasted. Teams from Papua only got their broadcast share from away matches. Even the champions Persipura only had 10 of their away matches being broadcasted. Persiram is the team with least number of matches being broadcasted with only 6. No wonder most of Indonesian football fans were unfamiliar with the name Rony Esar Beroperay on the Indonesian U-23 squad for the 2013 SEA Games campaign.
Surprisingly, big names like Arema, Sriwijaya FC or Persija failed to reach the spot below Persib on this matter. Instead, Persela stole the second place with 29. Details on the table below:
 |
| Table 1.1 Total TV Broadcast Sharing by Team |
As mentioned before, Persib had all of their home matches broadcasted and put them as the team with most number of home matches being broadcasted with 17. Teams with least number of home matches being broadcasted were all four Papua teams (Persipura, Persiram, Persidafon, and Persiwa) with none. Again, Persib topped the number of matches being broadcasted on away match, but now they have to share it with Persela with 13. More details on tables below:

2. Players
Throughout the 2013 season, there were 532 players involved in 306 matches. “Involved” means that the player was shortlisted on the line-up, either as starting player or as substitute. Not all of those players got playing minutes. As long as they were on the shortlist, they are considered as “involved.”
Out of 532 players, 425 are local Indonesian players, including those naturalized players such as Greg Nwokolo and Cristian Gonzales. The other 107 are foreign players from 5 Confederations (AFC, CAF, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, and UEFA).
The league authorities applied the “(3+2): 5” regulation for foreign players, which means that the composition of foreign players from non-AFC member countries in a club shall not exceed 3 players, and the maximum number of foreign players in a club is 5 players. All clubs utilized the basic knowledge of the regulation by having only 1 or 2 players from AFC member countries and signed 2 to 3 players from non-AFC member countries. With that practice, 41 players (38.3%) from AFC member countries came and went throughout the competition, followed by players from CAF (35 – 32.7%), CONMEBOL (20 – 18.7%), and UEFA (10 – 9.4%) accordingly. Keith Jerome “Kayamba” Gumbs was the only player (0.9%) from CONCACAF member country (St. Kitts & Nevis).
South Korea contributed the most number of foreign players with 17, followed by Cameroon (14), and Argentina and Liberia (8), on the top 3. More details on tables below:
3. Home Attendance Records
From 306 matches, the 2013 ISL attracted 2,835,760 people to come to the stadiums where the matches were being held (averagely 9,267.2/match). Arema attracted more crowd than any other teams with 429,830 people came to their Kanjuruhan Stadium on 17 home matches (averagely 25,284.1/match), followed by Persib (363,893 – 21,405.5/match) and Persipura (319,400 – 18,788.2/match) on the top 3. The match between Arema as host for Sriwijaya FC recorded the most crowded match with 40,002 people attended.
Newcomer Pelita Bandung Raya got the least number of attendance with only 32,160 (1,891.8/match). Their biggest “home” crowd recorded when they “hosted” Persib, which attracted 15,000 people.
There were 7 matches with 0 attendance. 2 of them ended with W/O in favor of Persipura and Barito Putera against the same team: Persiwa.
From 17 home matches, Persija only played 9 times at their Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, with 2 of them were behind closed doors (against Persiram and Persidafon). They also played behind closed doors of Lebak Bulus Stadium when they hosted Persiwa. They wandered to Solo for 5 matches and to Sleman for 2 matches. But yet, their home attendance record is still on the top 10. Details on table below:
4. Yellow Card and Red Card Records
Throughout the regular season, there were 1,092 yellow cards issued by the referees (averagely 3.57 yellow cards/match). 752 were issued for local players, and 340 were for foreign players. The first one of the season was awarded to Dane Milovanovic (Pelita Bandung Raya, at home against Barito Putera at the 40th minute), and the very last one was for Zuchrizal Abdul Gamal (Mitra Kukar, at home against Persija, at the 69th minute).
Most yellow card issued in a match happened when Persiba hosted Persisam. There were 11 yellow cards issued: 6 awarded to 4 Persiba players (2 players were sent off afterwards, including the 2013 ISL Best Young Player: Syakir Sulaiman), and 5 awarded to 4 Persisam players with 1 player ended up being sent off. That match also recorded most red card issued in a match.
By team, Persiram received more yellow cards than any other teams with 80, followed by Sriwijaya FC (79) and Mitra Kukar (72) on the top 3. Despite their very poor performance, PSPS hold the best disciplinary record with only 41 yellow cards awarded on 34 matches, followed by Persipura (43) and Persiwa (44).
Mitra Kukar local players hold the worst disciplinary record with 59 yellow cards out of 72, while Persib local players hold the best record with only 25 yellow cards out of 45.
Gresik United foreign players (yes, Sasa Zecevic was there) hold the worst disciplinary record with 34 yellow cards out of 68, on the other hand, PSPS foreign players only received 7 yellow cards.
Individually, Achmad Jufriyanto (Sriwijaya FC) holds the worst disciplinary record with 13 yellow cards and 1 red card with his name. But that didn’t stop him to get enlisted on the ISL All-Star squad at the end of the season. Below him, there are 2 Persiram midfielders: Elvis Herawan and Lee Soung Young. Both of them received 11 yellow cards and 1 red card. More details on table below:

More details on the table below:
5. Clean Sheet Records
It’s no surprise that Persipura hold the best clean sheet record. They only suffered 18 goals throughout the season, thanks to 19 clean sheets on their record. Despite the fact that there were 107 goals scored against them, PSPS’s clean sheet record (5) is better than Pelita Bandung Raya, who only managed to keep the virginity of their goal on 3 occasions. More details on table below:
6. Goal Records
Officially, the total number of goals scored in the 2013 ISL season is 898 (averagely 2.93 goals/match). There are 884 legitimate goals scored throughout the season plus 6 goals awarded for 2 walkouts (W/O) (3-0 each), and 8 own goals. The 884 legitimate goals came from 223 different players, 137 locals and 86 foreigners. Sadly, the total number of goals scored by local players is behind those scored by foreign players. Local players only scored 432 goals, while foreign players managed to score 452 goals.
Dane Milovanovic (Pelita Bandung Raya) scored the first goal of the season when his header found Barito Putera’s net on the curtain raiser. Last goal of the season was scored by Lancine Kone (Persisam) on a 6-1 trashing against PSPS on their last fixture.
As we all know, Persipura became the most productive team with 82 official goals (79 legitimate, 3 awarded for W/O), while last kid on the block PSPS came out last with only 26 goals.
Persipura captain Boaz Solossa peaked the top scorer list with 25 goals (3 scored from the spot). Djibril Coulibaly (Barito Putera) and Serginho van Dijk (Persib) are on the 2nd place with both scored 21 goals. Solossa and Coulibaly became the most productive local and foreign players, respectively. Otavio Dutra (Persipura) became the most productive defensive player with 10 goals (4 from the spot) in his tally. Ilija Spasojevic (Mitra Kukar) became the player with most number of goals scored in a single match when he scored 5 against PSPS. Van Dijk recorded the best consecutive goal scoring streak with 10 goals over 9 consecutive matches. For players who appeared in more than 10 matches, Kenmogne Emmanuel (Persija) recorded the best goals-per-match average with 0.875 (14 goals in 16 matches)
16 different players scored for Persipura, making them the team with most number of goal scorers. On the other hand, Persita’s 33 goals (+1 own goal) were scored by only 9 different players.
There are 2 matches where goals were pouring down like rain. Both matches involved PSPS as the losing side: Persela 9-1 PSPS, and Mitra Kukar 8-2 PSPS. Both matches recorded most goals scored in a match (10).
7. Appearance Records
Muhammad Ridwan (Persib) and Zulkifli Sukur (Mitra Kukar) are the iron men (or ‘coach’s pet’) of the 2013 ISL season. Both players appeared in all 34 matches for their respective teams as starter. Unfortunately, they both failed to get enlisted in the All-Star team. Dedy Hartono (Barito Putera), Mario Alejandro Costas (Persela) and Anis Nabar (Persidafon) came along with same number of appearances (34), but came on as substitute in several matches. Fun fact: none of those players mentioned above are goalkeeper!
Most appearance as substitute player goes to Yohanes Ferinando Pahabol (Persipura), who came from the dugout 23 times. Airlangga (Persib) on the 2nd place with 22 substitute appearances followed by Yongky Aribowo (Barito Putera) and Lukas Wellem Mandowen (Persipura) with 20.
