JAKARTA - Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC lost 2-3 to Dewa United FC at the PTIK Stadium, Jakarta, Saturday, March 16.

Dewa United FC took the lead through Kambuaya's goal in the 21st minute, followed by goals from Ferreira in the 24th minute, and OJ Porteria in the 32nd minute. Although Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC managed to reply through Brandao's goal in the 58th minute, and Radja Nainggolan in the 61st minute, Dewa United FC kept their lead.

This match provided entertainment and tension for fans of both teams, where Dewa United FC finally won three points to continue to liven up the competition on the centerboard.

On the other hand, this result makes Bhayangkara overshadowed by relegation. The reason is that they have only collected 19 points from 29 matches and are in 17th position in the standings.

The latest Indonesian League 1 standings show Borneo Samarinda still leads firmly in the top position with 69 points from 29 matches. Followed by Persib Bandung in second place with 54 points from 29 matches.

Meanwhile, Dewa United FC managed to move up to seventh place with 41 points from 29 matches, while Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC was stranded in 17th place with only 19 points from 29 matches.

Demanding five remaining tough Bhayangkara matches, it seems difficult for this team to get past the relegation position.

Bhayangkara is scheduled to meet Persib Bandung on March 28, which is predicted to be a difficult test for Bhayangkara, considering Persib Bandung is one of the strong teams in the league. Bhayangkara will need to perform with their best performance to achieve positive results.

On April 2, they will continue the match against Persik, which on paper can provide Bhayangkara with the opportunity to collect points. However, they should not underestimate Persik.

Furthermore, Bali United FC vs. Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC will take place on April 16. The away match against Bali United FC will be a tough test for Bhayangkara. Bali United FC is a strong team and Bhayangkara seems to have given up points in this match

Then Barito Putera will host vs. Bhayangkara on April 20. This is the same with away matches that are always difficult for them. Finally they will host Persis Solo on April 28.

The home match against Persis Solo will be an opportunity for Bhayangkara to get important points, although it is difficult to avoid relegation.

It is possible that the relegation of Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC will be greatly influenced by the results of these matches. With their position in the danger zone in the standings, each match is very important for them.

Bhayangkara must fight hard and maximize every opportunity to get points, and maintain consistent performance in order to avoid relegation to a lower division.
