JAKARTA - Madura United coach, Rakhmat Basuki, put forward high optimism in the second leg of the 2023/2024 League 1 Championship Series final. He said it was not impossible for his team to chase three Persib Bandung goals.
In the first leg which was held at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency, the home team won 3-0 over Madura United. This situation clearly makes it difficult for Laskar Sapeh Kelap, who will host the second leg on Friday, May 31, 2024, at the Bangkalan Stadium.
Even so, Rakhmat Basuki remains optimistic. He did not even hesitate to set a minimum target so that his team could score three goals. Although not easy, he realized it was not impossible.
"What is clear is chasing a margin of three goals. That's my target. At a minimum, we can chase three goals, just looking for ways to increase the intensity again to get a winning goal," he said.

"It (going after three goals) is not an easy job, but nothing is impossible. Hopefully, what we have prepared, the game plan we have prepared can go well," continued Rakhmat on Friday, May 31, 2024.
In the first leg, Madura United actually performed well at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. They dare to play openly and have a number of opportunities to score goals.
The match even went tough and Madura United just conceded by Ciro Alves in the 70th minute. After trailing 0-1, Madura United then showed weaknesses in injury time.
David Da Silva then punished Madura United with a good goal in injury time. Persib can win 3-0 and at the same time keep them above the wind in the hunt for the 2023/2024 Liga 1 title.
