Asian Champions League Standings 2: Persib Takes Over The Peak, Struggle Is Not Over

Persib Bandung does not want to be dissolved in euphoria even though it is now leading the Asian 2 Champions League group standings (Instagram/@persib).

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung, who became the sole representative of Indonesia in the Champions League Asia 2 (AFC Champions League Two), successfully topped the Group G standings. The result was confirmed after a convincing victory over Malaysia's representative, Selangor FC.

From the results of the match, Thursday, October 24, 2025, WIB night, Persib appeared solid and won 2-0 over Selangor. Adam Alis and Andrew Jung each scored to pick up the full three points at the Gelora Bandung Stadium, Lautan Api.

This point was achieved by taking Maung Bandung to the top of the standings. Persib is now in the top position with a collection of seven points, two wins and one draw.

Persib's success in climbing to the top of the standings cannot be separated from the results that occurred between Bangkok United vs Lion City Sailors. Bangkok United managed to beat Lion City Sailors with a score of 1-0 through Muhsen Al Ghazani's goal.

Maung Bandung coach, Bojan Hodak, said his team deserved victory in the match. According to him, all the players performed well and worked hard to kill Selangor's resistance.

"We deserved to win. I think we played better today. We played very well in the early 30 minutes."

"After we scored, maybe the opponent tried to catch up. We focused more on defending and they didn't have a dangerous chance."

"Our second half didn't start well, we gave them one or two chances," Hodak told a news conference after the game.

These results made Bangkok United move up to second place with a collection of six points. Lion City, who had been at the top of the standings after, had to be willing to go down to third place.

Meanwhile, Selangor continues to struggle in the caretaker position. They have not won points from the three matches they have played.

Even though it is currently at the top of the standings, Persib's position is not really safe. Especially after this in two consecutive matches, Persib will travel to Selangor and Lion City Sailors headquarters.

The results of the two matches will be crucial for Persib's opportunity to qualify for the next round. Meanwhile, Maung Bandung only returned to play at home in the group's last match at home to Bangkok United.

Later, the top two teams from each group will qualify for the round of 16.

However, Hodak reminded his players that the victory from Selangor was not the end of the struggle.

Despite leading the standings, Hodak emphasized that his team still had to look for victory to ensure tickets to the next round.

"We have seven points. However, no one has really decided their fate. So, everyone can still beat it. I just hope, we can continue this," he said.
