JAKARTA PSM Makassar confirmed itself to come out as the Indonesian League 1 champion earlier before the end of the season after defeating Madura United 3-1, Friday, March 31, 2023.
Playing at the Gelora Madura Ratu Pamelingan Stadium, Juku Eja's winning goals were scored by Wiljan Pluim (2 goals) and Kenzo Nambu. Meanwhile, one host entertainment goal was netted by Hugo 'Jaja' Gomez.
This result makes PSM collect 72 points and have two games remaining. The number of points could no longer be pursued by Persib Bandung who followed them in second place with 59 points.
Persib itself still has three games left this season. However, if Maung Bandung was able to win all those matches, their number collection would only reach 68 points.
