JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta managed to complete the match week 5 of Liga 1 2023/2024 with satisfactory results. Entertaining Persebaya Surabaya at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Sunday 30 July, the Kemayoran Tigers returned with three points after winning 1-0.
Persija Jakarta's victory was also successfully followed by Madura United who appeared at the same time against Barito. Meanwhile, the previous two matches played by four teams in the 5th week ended in a draw.
Persija Jakarta tried to appear pressing since the initial whistle sounded by the referee, Thomas Doll's team immediately pressed into Bajul Ijo's defense to open up opportunities.
In the 19th minute the opportunity was open for the Kemayoran Tigers, Firza Andika's hard kick from the middle of the field was a chance to score. But it turned out that the ball shot too far from the goal direction of Persebaya, the chance failed to be converted into a goal.
Three minutes later Persija again got a golden opportunity, not just once but twice in a row. But again failed to become the opening goal, because the ball under Riko Simanjuntak's control soared too high and the player's kick in front of the opponent's goal could still be on the edge of Andika Ramadhani.
The Persija Jakarta deadlock finally broke when it entered the 38th minute. Witan Sulaeman's kick from the right side of Persebaya's defense was welcomed by Ryo Matsumoto. With Ryo's position and accuracy, he managed to score the ball into Persebaya's goal, making the score change 1-0 for Persija Jakarta and lasted until halftime.
At the beginning of the second half, it was Persebaya Surabaya's turn to try to catch up. Aji Santoso's team immediately appeared to attack the Kemayoran Tigers' defense but did not immediately bear sweet fruit.
Until midway through the second half, Persebaya Surabaya still seemed difficult to penetrate the defense of the capital team, a number of opportunities were created but Riko Simanjuntak et al were still able to overcome it.
The match got tough closer to the end of the normal time match. Buying and selling attacks continues to change the condition of the two camps. Four minutes of extra time was then given by the referee but the score did not change until the whistle sounded. Persija successfully won 1-0 over Persebaya.
