TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The 2022 President’s Cup Group C match, Bali United vs. Persebaya Surabaya, which took place at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung, Monday, June 20, ended with a score of 1-0.
This match was originally scheduled to be held at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA) Stadium, but was moved and closed to spectators. This transfer was made following the incident where two people died while watching the Persib Bandung match against Persebaya Surabaya due to overcrowding last Friday.
The duel of the two teams was fierce throughout the match, even though it was held without spectators. Bali United and Persebaya took turns launching their attacks.
But the expected goal was not created. The match ended in a goalless draw in the first half.
Bali United managed to score a goal when the second half entered the 52nd minute. Rizki Ramdani Lestaluhu, who entered at the end of the first half to replace Ahmad Agung Setia Budi, managed to break into the Persebaya goal.
Left behind by one goal, Persebaya continues to try to create a goal back. However, the attack creations built by Aji Santoso’s team have not yet produced a goal.
The Bali United vs Persebaya match in the third match of Group C of the 2022 President’s Cup ended with the score 1-0. However, this victory cannot automatically deliver Stefano Cugurra’s squad to the last eight.
These results make Bali United pack four points with a goal difference of 0. With this value, its position remains in third place in the 2022 President’s Cup Group C standings, losing on goal difference to Persib Bandung and Bhayangkara FC.
The first and second positions in Group C of the 2022 Presidential Cup are occupied by Persib and Bhayangkara FC.
