The Andalas derby (Indonesian: Derbi Andalas), also known as the Super Sumatra derby (Indonesian: Derbi Super Sumatera), is the name given to inter-city rivalry between Indonesian professional football clubs Semen Padang and Sriwijaya. Semen Padang was founded in 1980 in Padang, West Sumatra, while Sriwijaya is based in Palembang, South Sumatra since it was founded in 2004. The "Andalas" is another name for Sumatra, and is used to refer the island.[4][5]
Both teams were formed in different decades, Semen Padang was formed on 30 November 1980 and plays its home games at the Gelora Haji Agus Salim Stadium in Padang[6] – while Sriwijaya was only formed almost 25 years later, on 23 October 2004, after the South Sumatra government bought the bankrupt North Jakarta club Persijatim Solo FC and moved its home ground to the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium in Palembang.[7]
The 2010–11 Indonesia Super League was the first competitive league season between the two after Semen Padang were promoted from the second division the previous season[8] – while Sriwijaya were then one of the best teams in the Indonesian football, becoming the first and only club in Indonesia to ever achieve the double in 2008, and becoming first and only club to ever win the Copa Indonesia in three consecutive seasons from 2008 to 2010.[9][10] The first match between the two teams in the competition took place on 2 February 2011 at Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium. Sriwijaya managed to score two goals from Keith "Kayamba" Gumbs in the 24th minute and Rudi Widodo in the 32nd minute. After Sriwijaya's lead, the match became increasingly heated with Saktiawan Sinaga getting a straight red card just before halftime and forcing Semen Padang to play with 10 men. The home team managed to score 3 more goals after the incident through Budi Sudarsono's brace in the 40th and 82nd minutes and Korinus Fingkrew's goal in the 79th minute. The match ended with a 5–0 win for Sriwijaya – also becoming Semen Padang's biggest defeat that season.[11]
