League Results 1: Borneo Hajar Persita 1-0
JAKARTA - Borneo FC continues to strengthen their position at the top of the standings after defeating the host Persita Tangerang in the 2023/2024 Indonesian League 1 continuation.
The duel between the two teams took place in the 27th week at the Indomilk Arena Stadium, Tangerang, Banten, Saturday, March 2 evening. The hosts were forced to give up with a narrow score of 0-1.
The only goal that determines the visitors' victory was scored by Argentine player Felipe Cadenazzi, six minutes after both teams left the dressing room.
