Persib Bandung Secures Dramatic Victory over PSM Makassar
On Saturday night, December 27, 2025, Stadion Gelora Bandung Lautan Api hosted a dramatic match between Persib Bandung and PSM Makassar in the postponed week-eight fixture of the Super League 2025/26. Persib won 1-0 thanks to a lone goal from Andrew Jung, who redeemed his earlier penalty miss just minutes prior.
PSM Makassar kicked off, but Persib quickly pressed. The hosts' first chance came in the 2nd minute via Uilliam Barros, saved by goalkeeper Hilman Syah. In the 9th minute, Thom Haye's free kick was also parried by Hilman. Pressure built until the 21st or 22nd minute, when Berguinho was fouled by Mufli Hidayat in the penalty area. Referee Yudai Yamamoto confirmed the penalty after VAR review. Andrew Jung stepped up but his shot was saved by Hilman Syah, keeping the score at 0-0.
Jung recovered swiftly, however. A minute later, from Thom Haye's corner, he powerfully headed the ball into PSM's net in the 26th minute. The goal ignited cheers from Bobotoh supporters, giving Persib a 1-0 lead. In the first half, Persib dominated with Eliano Reijnders missing in the 31st minute and Berguinho failing a one-on-one.
PSM attempted counterattacks, but Persib's defense, led by Teja Paku Alam, held firm. In the second half, Persib played disciplined football. Reijnders nearly added a second in the 48th minute, but his shot sailed over. Coach Bojan Hodak substituted Marc Klok in the 61st minute, shifting Reijnders to right back for balance.
This victory gave Persib 34 points, displacing Borneo FC from the top on head-to-head. PSM remained eighth with 19 points. The match was broadcast live on Indosiar and streamed on Vidio, with Persib's starting lineup including Teja Paku Alam, Federico Barba, and forwards Berguinho and Jung.
