Pertamina Enduro confirmed as the best with an aggregate advantage of 2-0.
Pertamina Enduro performed optimally and showed the best performance in the two grand finals. In the first leg, Friday, April 24, 2026, they won 3-1 which became a valuable capital to complete the next match.
Pertamina Enduro's consistency was maintained by conquering Phonska Plus in the second leg. In fact, they had no trouble overcoming Phonska Plus' resistance.
The success of winning in the final match makes Pertamina Enduro retain the title of champion. In the previous year, they performed as champions after defeating Jakarta Popsivo Polwan. They also made a record of three champions in the last six years.
"It must be admitted that Pertamina Enduro is the best team this season. There is no need for debate, they are the best and deserve to win. We have tried to fight. In fact, our performance is actually better than yesterday. But we still failed," said coach Phonska Plus Alessandro Lodiyang who did not hesitate to praise Pertamina Enduro.
"In my opinion, it takes an extraordinary performance to beat them. Even their game is very consistent in every set. We do have difficulty winning. So we just try to give them a tight fight. We congratulate Pertamina Enduro," he said again.
Meanwhile, Pertamina Enduro coach Bullent Karsioglu said that the team played better and more confident than the first match. This makes them not have trouble overcoming Phonska Plus.
"This match is indeed easier. It must be admitted that the victory in the first match makes us more confident. The match also went as we expected. This is because we play for ourselves, our families and clubs," said the Turkish coach.
According to him, the key to the team's game lies in the patience of the players. If there is a chase for numbers, players are often tempted and become impatient.
"When chasing each other, it makes players impatient. So I remind them to be patient. If you are impatient, the number can disappear again," said Karsioglu.
