JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak was impressed with the team's performance after defeating PSM Makassar. The reason is that the result of the match successfully made Maung Bandung move Borneo FC to the top of the standings.
Persib managed to usurp the top position from Borneo after winning 1-0 from PSM Makassar in a postponed match on Saturday, December 27 WIB.
The three points at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA) were a gift of a goal from Andrew Jung. The French player failed to shoot the ball from the penalty kick, but shortly afterwards he paid for it with a header from Thom Haye's assist.
After the match, Bojan Hodak highlighted his team's performance against PSM Makassar, which was predicted to be not easy. The coach also touched on the moment of Jung's missed penalty.
"I've said this before, if against PSM Makassar it will be a difficult match, and it proved it. We failed to make the penalty a goal," said Hodak at a press conference after the match, quoted from Persib's official website.
However, the decisive goal made by Jung afterwards was a bright spot for the team. Overall, Bojan is proud of his team's fighting spirit and appreciates the performance of all the players.
"But we are grateful to be able to score a goal after that in the first half. Entering the second half we played a little bit down, the opponent had many opportunities especially through dead balls,"
"But I am happy and proud of the performance of all the players, especially our defensive line," said the figure who has led Persib to become champions in the last two seasons.
Three points from this match make Persib temporarily occupy the first place in the Super League with 34 points, the same as Borneo FC. The Blue Prince team is entitled to be above Borneo because they have a head to head advantage.
However, Persib's position at the top of the standings is not entirely safe because Borneo will face Malut United on Sunday, December 28 afternoon.
If Borneo can get points in the match against Malut, then the Pesut Etam squad will again move Persib from the top of the Super League standings.
