JAKARTA - Persib Bandung defeated Madura United in the 18th week of Liga 1 2023/2024. In the match which was held at the Bangkalan Gelora Stadium, Madura, the host lost to Persib Bandung 0-1.

Persib Bandung's success in overthrowing Laskar Sapeh Kerap on Wednesday, November 1, at 19.00 WIB, became a sweet fruit for Maung Bandung. Because the three points brought them up in the rankings in the standings.

Persib is now in second place in Liga 1 standings with 34 points and Madura United remain in third place with 31 points. Maung Bandung's team is now only one point away from the top of the standings occupied by Borneo FC.

Persib Bandung's victory at home to this opponent was not easily obtained. Because throughout the first round Maung Bandung faced strong resistance from Madura United's troops.

Although Persib managed to resolve several opportunities to the opponent's defense area, this effort still did not bear fruit. The 0-0 score lasted until halftime.

Entering the second half, Persib immediately attacked with two consecutive chances. Putu Gede, who was not sticky, was caught by Satria Tama and a wild ball was struck by Ciro Alves but his shot did not meet the target.

Three minutes later it was David da Silva's turn to get a chance. Unfortunately, Da Silva's shot from inside the penalty box was still too weak so it was easy for Satria Tama to tame it.

Persib's hard work to take the lead over Madura United paid off in the 85th minute. The free kick of substitute Ezra Walian who headed into the penalty box was headed by Nick Kuipers.

The Kuipers header that put the ball at the far post and nestled into the Madura United goal put Persib 1-0 up. Unfortunately, efforts to double the number in the remaining time could not be realized because the referee blew the long whistle signaling the end of the match.
