JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak said the 3-2 victory over Bali United was not easy.
Persib Bandung will host Bali United in the 27th week of the 2025/2026 Super League. In the match which took place at the Gelora Bandung Stadium (GBLA) Bandung, Sunday, April 12, 2026, WIB evening, Maung Bandung managed to show his dominance.
Bojan admitted that his team had taken control of the course of the match. However, then the situation changed after having to play with 10 people who he considered made the team's movement not easy.
"I think, before a player gets a red card, we can control the course of the match," said Bojan Hodak in a statement quoted on Monday, April 13, 2026.
He assessed that if the number of players remained balanced, Persib had the opportunity to end the match sooner, especially after leading two goals in the second half.
However, the situation changed when Bali United outnumbered the players. Fatigue, said Hodak, made his team start to lose the rhythm of the game.
"After they appeared with one more person and our players started to get tired, we conceded," said the coach.
However, Bojan Hodak still appreciates the hard work of the players who were able to maintain the lead until the end of the match.
He also emphasized that the team must immediately shift focus to the next match against Dewa United in the 28th week of the Super League, Monday, April 20, 2026.
"In the end we were able to get three points and now focus on the next game," said Hodak.
