Brace Ciro Alves To The Gawang PSS Bring Persib To The Peak Of The Standings

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung managed to lock up the victory at home to PSS Sleman in the 22nd week of Liga 1 2022/2023. This result cannot be separated from the Ciro Alves brace which helped the team to return to the top of the standings.

Maung Bandung had the opportunity to host PSS Sleman at the Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA) on Sunday, February 5 afternoon WIB. Appearing in front of his own supporters, Persib tried to appear pressing from the early minutes.

Luis Milla's team relied on the sharpness of Ciro Alves to pave the way. Several times the Brazilian was able to spread threats during a duet with David da Silva.

However, his efforts to open the advantage were fairly long. Because only in the 27th minute, Ciro managed to shake the opponent's goal which was guarded by Muhammad Ridwan to change the score to 1-0.

The hosts' advantage ahead of halftime overwhelmed the Javanese Super Eagle movement. They have ambitions to equalize at the end of the second half.

However, good luck seems to be taking sides with Maung Bandung, ten minutes later the host actually doubled the number. This time the score was 2-0, which was once again created from the leg of Ciro Alves who lasted until halftime.

In the second half, PSS was still trying to catch up but still had difficulty developing the game. As a result, not many opportunities could be created by the team, which was created by Seto Nurdiantoro.

Persib actually had the opportunity to increase their advantage to 3-0 in the middle of the second half. Unfortunately, David da Silva's efforts were countered by PSS players.

Until the end of the second half, Persib and PSS were no longer able to score. The hosts managed to secure the score 2-0 until the game was over.

This result brings Persib back to the top of the standings. The Blue Prince who collected 45 points was able to shift Persija Jakarta by one point.
