JAKARTA - The second week of Liga 1 2024/2025 brings together Persita Tangerang and Persija Jakarta at the Sultan Agung Stadium, Bantul. Appearing on Sunday, August 18 the two teams had to share a draw because they played with 0-0 results.

Despite appearing as a visiting team, Persija Jakarta appeared very dominant throughout the first half. Statistics show Persija holding a ball session of more than 70 percent.

Even though it has only been running for five minutes, Persija has had a chance. Through the appearance of Ryo Matsumura, the Kemayoran Tigers fired a shot that Persita goalkeeper Igor Carreira could still save.

In the host camp, Persita can only play relying on counter-attacking games. But it is Persita who is more effective in creating opportunities.

In the 20th minute it was Persita's turn to threaten through Bruno da Cruz. This time, foreign goalkeeper Persija Carlos Eduardo showed off with a slick save.

Two minutes later Persita got another chance. Yafi's yard dribbled and fired a hard low kick which still hit the post.

Persija, who wanted to break the deadlock, also fielded two players. Maciej Gajos and Witan Sulaeman came in to replace Hanif Sjahbandi and Riko Simanjuntak.

Entering in the second half, it was Persita Tangerang's turn to appear more open than the first half. Persija also got more opportunities to score goals.

One of them was from Firza Andika's effort to release a hard kick from the right side of the Persita defense. But the former Indonesian U-19 national team kick was still above the Persita crossbar.

Gajos twice threatened Persita's goal with a hard kick. Igor's first effort, through his free kick, was also secured by the Portuguese goalkeeper.

In the 75th minute it was Ryo Matsumura's turn to try his luck. Releasing a kick from outside the penalty box, Ryo's effort only hit the crossbar.

No goals were scored until the game ended. Both teams had to settle for sharing one point in the second week.
