JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to secure the full three points when they hosted Persija Jakarta in the postponed match of Liga 1 Indonesia 2022/2023. Maung Bandung made his supporters cheered through Ciro Alves' single goal at the start of the second half at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA), Wednesday, January 11 afternoon WIB.

Getting three points from rivals makes Luis Milla's team now move up fourth in the standings with a collection of 33 points from 17 matches that have been played.

The number of points is the same as the collection of Bali United and Madura United, each filling second and third places. The three of them are only one point adrift of PSM Makassar in the first position.

This is Maung Bandung's tenth win so far. Meanwhile, in the other seven matches, they got three draws and four defeats.

On the other hand, the defeat at Persib's headquarters forced Persija to leave the top four. Thomas Doll's troops dropped one position to fifth place because they were one point adrift of Persib.

The opportunity that the Kemayoran Tigers have to be able to return to the top four is increasingly difficult because the following week they will meet Bali United, Sunday, January 15.

As for Persib, it is possible that they can continue to poke up. Moreover, they will meet Bhayangkara, a team that is currently slumping on the standings board, this weekend.
