One said: “The two clubs should get sanctions.”
The result left Persibo second in Group C of Liga 2 with Deltras a point behind in third.
Amir Burhanuddin, CEO of Deltras, said: “It all started with the referee’s leadership.
“When the foul occurred, our players prepared, but the ball was shifted by the opposing player which then resulted in a quick free kick.
“However, the opposing player’s position was clearly offside.”
