JAKARTA - Persita Tangerang managed to pick up three points when they hosted Persik Kediri in the 22nd week of Liga 1 2024/2025. While witnessed by the Indonesian national team coach, Patrick Kluiver, the home team closed the match with a score of 1-0.

Playing at the Indomilk Arena Stadium, Tangerang on Friday, February 7 afternoon WIB, Persita immediately appeared pressing from the start of the match. The attack almost without a break made Persita immediately score in the 11th minute through Ryuji Utomo's header.

Starting from the corner kick released by Irsyad Maulana, Ryuji who stood behind his guard successfully headed the ball into the opponent's goal.

Although they managed to take the lead first, Persita did not relax the attack. Mario Ogkmpoe led the front line as the spearhead was able to produce several opportunities even though it did not produce additional goals.

In the Persik camp, they also did not want to lose when the home team took the lead first. Trying to score a return goal, the White Tigers were still dead until halftime.

In the second half, another sale and purchase of attacks occurred for both teams. Persita relied on Yardan Yafi and Irsyad Maulana as buzzers.

However, the visitors' efforts were in fact nil, because until the referee blew the long whistle the score remained 1-0 for the hosts.

The three points picked made Persita crawl to the top of the standings in fifth place with 35 points. Meanwhile, Persik is stuck in seventh place with 32 points.
