League 1 2023/2024 Results: Bhayangkara Win Dramatic 3-2 Over Madura United

JAKARTA Bhayangkara successfully brought home three points after winning 3-2 over the Madura United guest team in the 27th week of Liga 1 2023/2024.

The five-goal drama took place at the PTIK Stadium, Jakarta, on Friday, March 1, 2024, WIB night. The hosts almost brought the results of the series after winning two goals first.

The match lasted 19 minutes, the host Bhayangkara had opened the scoring. The first goal was scored by Witan Sulaeman who maximized Mati Mier's pass.

Mati Mier then increased their advantage in first-half injury time. The Uruguayan player scored a beautiful goal from outside the penalty box.

Ten minutes the two teams left the dressing room, Madura United managed to reduce the gap. Yuda Editya became the opening goal actor for Laskar Sape Kerab.

In the 77th minute, Madura added another goal to equalize the score to 2-2. This time it was Muhammad Riski Afrisal's turn to beat goalkeeper The Guardian, Awan Setho.

The host's winning goal was then born in the 84th minute with a penalty that was successfully executed by Junior Brandao. Bhayangkara was awarded a penalty as a result of the visitors' handball.

Despite winning, Bhayangkara still has a narrow hope to survive the relegation zone. They are currently still in 17th position in the 2023/2024 Liga 1 standings with 18 points.

The number of points they have is still 12 adrift of Arema FC who is in the last safe zone. Seeing such a difference, The Guardian's hope to stay in League 1 next season really needs hard work in the remaining matches.
