JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to pick up three points to close the 17th week of the 2025/2026 Super League. Hosting Persija Jakarta, Maung Bandung closed the home match with a score of 1-0.
The meeting of the El Clasico-labeled match took place at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA) on Sunday, January 11 at 15.30 WIB.
Persib managed to take the lead 1-0 through a quick goal from Beckham Putra when the match was only five minutes. The goal came as a result of Bruno Tubarao's mistake in anticipating a cross.
The loose ball rolling in front of the goal was able to be hit by Beckham to break Carlos Eduardo's goal.
Being one goal behind made Persija startled. The team led by Mauricio Souza tried to increase the intensity of the attack to dismantle the home team's defense by creating many opportunities.
Persija's best chance came in the 38th minute through Maxwell's action who managed to take advantage of Allano's long pass. Unfortunately, Maxwell's shot could still be blocked by Teja Paku Alam.
Before the break, Persija almost equalized through Allano's hard shot from outside the penalty box in the 42nd minute. It's just that the Brazilian midfielder's hard shot still hit the crossbar.
Persija, who dominated the game, failed to score a goal until the first half ended. The hosts managed to maintain the 1-0 lead until the break.
In the second half, Persija tried to increase the attack. But in the middle of the pursuit, Persija was forced to lose a player after Bruno Tubarao was sent off in the 53rd minute.
Tabarao was given a red card for deliberately stepping on Beckham Putra's foot who had fallen after a duel.
Persib almost doubled the lead in the 56th minute through a header from Julio Cesar. However, the ball could still be blocked by Carlos Eduardo who performed brilliantly.
The lack of players makes Persija difficult to penetrate the home team's defense. Meanwhile, Persib several times produced golden opportunities that failed to be converted into goals.
The score of 1-0 for Persib's victory lasted until the end of the match. This result makes Persib entitled to take over the top of the standings and seal the status of the 2025/2026 Super League half-season champion.
Persib now has 38 points or one point ahead of Borneo FC who have to be content with second place. Meanwhile, Persija dropped to third place with 35 points.
