JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to steal three points when they traveled to Arema FC headquarters, Gelora Supriyadi Stadium, Blitar, in the 20th week of Liga 1 2024/2025, Friday, January 24, 2025.

Bojan Hodak's team won 3-1 thanks to brace Tyronne del Pino and new player Grevane Kastaneer's first goal.

The hosts actually pressed more in the early 15 minutes of the match. A number of opportunities were created by Singo Edan, but no one has resulted in a goal yet.

Persib, who took advantage of the counter-attack, actually also spread serious threats. In the 31st minute, Tyronne's Ciro Alves bait could not be executed properly to open the scoring.

However, two minutes later, Tyronne actually entered the scoreboard. Starting from chaos in front of Arema's goal after a corner, Tyronne grabbed the ball with a header to put Persib ahead.

However, that advantage did not last until halftime. Arema equalized in first-half injury time through Charles Lokolingoy's header at the far post after welcoming Julian Guevara's cross. The score 1-1 then closed the first half.

Continuing to the second half, the intensity of Persib's attack was even crazier. Some of the regional balls aimed at Ciro Alves and Tyronne were very troublesome for Arema's defense.

Persib did not take long to take the lead again. The goal started with a regional bait that Ciro Alves could receive.

However, before entering the penalty box, he was first violated by Thales. The free kick prize, which was just outside the penalty box, became Tyronne's soft meal.

A straight free kick with the striker's left foot slid hard. Lucas Frigeri could only gaze at the ball into the net.

Entering 20 minutes of normal time, the tension of the match heats up with a number of violations and provocations.

Arema, who is hunting for the equalizer, often finds it difficult to penetrate the Maung Bandung defense, which was commanded by Nick Kuipers.

A number of changes were made for the mission of equalizing. Unmitigated, Singo Edan immediately included three players, Muhammad Rafli, Hamzah Tifofani, and Iksan Lestaluhu to increase the strength of the bang.

Previously, Ze Gomes had also lowered their top score, Dalberto, shortly after trailing 1-2.

While in the Persib camp, they played the new player Gervane Kastaneer to replace the injured Tyronne.

It's just that, instead of equalizing, Arema is even more drowned. Kastaneer posted his first goal for Persib after making his debut the previous week against Dewa United.

Kastaneer, who collaborated with Ciro Alves, fired a shot from the ground and measured. Frigeri helpless. Persib away 3-1.

The 3-1 score lasted until the game was over. The result extended Persib's unbeaten record over Arema in the seven most recent meetings in Liga 1, four wins and three draws.

Not only that, but three points also stopped the record without Persib's victory in the previous three matches (two draws and one defeat).

Meanwhile, for Arema, their negative trend continues. Singo Edan has now lost three consecutive matches in Liga 1 2024/2025.

Persib is still perched at the top of the League 1 standings this season with 43 points, while Arema has not moved to 10th position with 28 points.
