Persija Jakarta is not a foreign club for Exel. You see, in the past two seasons, he has consecutively conceded the Kemayoran Tigers' goal when he was still in Barito Putera's uniform.
His first goal was carried out during Liga 1 2023/2024 in a match that ended 2-2 on April 21, 2024. In the 2024/2025 season, he again tarnished the Persija goal in the match which ended 3-2 for the Kemayoran Tigers.
This note is the answer to the consistency of his performances at the old club which then attracted Persija. Of the 19 matches in his last season with Barito Putera, Eksel scored three goals and one assist.
