JAKARTA - Persib sealed the BRI Super League title in the 2025/2026 season after a goalless draw against Persijap Jepara at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung City, Saturday.
One additional point is enough to ensure Persib is the league champion for the third consecutive time with 79 points, the same as Borneo FC Samarinda.
Persib was crowned the champion because they had a head to head with Borneo FC who in the last match at the same time won big 7-1 over Malut United.
Led by South Korean referee Ko Hyungjin, Persib appeared to attack from the start of the match.
The first opportunity came in the fourth minute through a long-range shot from Thom Haye that soared over the Persijap goal line.
A minute later, Haye's shot only resulted in a corner kick, while Berguinho's rebound in the sixth minute also missed the target.
In the 14th minute, Federico Barba's header took advantage of Haye's corner to clear the goal.
In the 20th minute, Berguinho's left foot shot from outside the penalty area also bounced off the target.
Persijap retaliated. Dicky Kurniawan's header threatened Teja Paku Alam's goal.
In the 33rd minute, Persib got a golden opportunity through Adam Alis, but his shot went sideways on the right side of the Persijap goal, while Adam Alis' shot was blocked by goalkeeper Muhammad Ardiansyah.
In the second half, Persib got a golden opportunity from Andrew Jung's kick at the start of the second half, but was stopped by the opponent's goalkeeper.
In the 68th minute, the cooperation between Beckham Putra Nugraha and Andrew Jung in the penalty box failed to produce a goal after the ball was deflected by Ardiansyah.
In the 74th minute, through Uilliam Barros' header which took advantage of Berguinho's pass, he narrowly missed the right side of the Persijap goal.
