JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to hold back the Port FC draw when they met on the fifth matchday of Group F of the 2024/2025 Asian Champions League.

Persib Bandung appeared against Port FC at Leo Stadium on Thursday, November 28, 2024, WIB night. In that match, Maung Bandung was threatened with losing because when he entered the Port FC injury time he was still winning 2-1.

However, Persib then managed to score a goal with David Da Silva's header taking advantage of the chaos that occurred in front of the Port FC goal. This 2-2 score was created when the match was running 90+5.

Persib's efforts to thwart Port FC's victory resulted in one additional point and made them now have collected five points from the five matches they have played.

The record has not made Persib free from the position of caretaker, but Maung Bandung still opens up opportunities to qualify for the round of 16. Moreover, in the last match, Persib will face the Chinese club, Zhejiang at home.

The match is a crucial match that must be won by Persib to open the hope of qualifying. The victory over Zhejiang will not immediately present tickets for the round of 16 because Persib still has to rely on the results of the Lion City Sailors (Singapore) vs Port FC match.

To qualify for the round of 16, Persib not only had to win in the last match, but also had to hope that Port FC could beat or draw against Lion City Sailors. If that happens, Persib will move up to second place and shift Lion City Sailors.

The draw for Lion City vs Port FC is enough to encourage Persib to qualify if at the same time Maung Bandung wins against Zhejiang.

Even though they both collect eight points, Persib will lead head-to-head against Lion City. Therefore, one point from the match against Port FC on the fifth matchday is really valuable.
