In a preseason friendly, Persebaya lost 0-3 to Barito Putera. However, coach Paul Munster believes that the result is not a reliable reference. “We have already conducted evaluations, but we focus on the performance in Liga 1,” said Munster. “We only focus on Liga 1. In the test match, we made many changes to the players, while in Liga 1, you will see 100% of the team’s strategy.”

It has been revealed that Persija Jakarta’s planned friendly match against Atletico Madrid was canceled due to their involvement in the 2024 President’s Cup. Rumors had circulated that Persija was scheduled to play Atletico Madrid on Saturday (August 3) at Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in preparation for the new season. However, Persija advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 President’s Cup and had to compete for third place against Persis Solo on the same day at Stadion Manahan, Solo. “It was definitely not possible because we were involved in the third-place match of the 2024 President’s Cup,” Persija’s Director Mohamad Prapanca told reporters. He added that Atletico Madrid could only visit on that specific date, which conflicted with Persija’s schedule. “We were prepared to host them, but we had to follow the regulations of our federation,” Prapanca said. Prapanca is uncertain whether Atletico Madrid will still come to Indonesia following the cancellation of the friendly. He mentioned that Persija initially planned to test their strength against the Spanish giants. “I’m not sure. You should inquire with the promoter about Atletico Madrid’s visit. Regarding the planning, yes, the plan was made,” Prapanca added. “However, the promoter also needed to get recommendations from our federation and PT LIB to see if it could be arranged during the 2024 President’s Cup,” he concluded.

Persija Jakarta started their BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season with a commanding display. The team secured a 3-0 victory over Barito Putera in their opening match of Week 1, played at Jakarta International Stadium on Saturday, August 10, 2024. Gustavo Almeida shone brightly, netting a hat-trick with one goal in the first half and two more in the second. With this win, Persija joins Persib Bandung and PSM Makassar at the top of the standings, all having achieved big wins.

Persib Bandung (4-2-3-1): Kevin Ray Mendoza; Edo Febriansyah, Nick Kuipers, Gustavo Franca, Robi Darwis; Marc Klok, Dedi Kusnandar; Ciro Alves, Mailson Duarte, Dimas Drajad; David da Silva. Coach: Bojan Hodak
PSBS Biak (4-3-3): Mariyo Fabiyo; David Uopmabin, Donni Monim, Julian Velazquez, Marckhio Merauje; Jonata Machado, Damianus Adiman, Williams Ladera; Ablo Arganaraz, Alexsandro Ferreira, Cristian Esparza. Coach: Juan Esnaider

The match, held at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat, was intense from the start. Both teams exchanged attacks throughout the game. The first major chance occurred when David Da Silva took advantage of a corner kick from Mailson, but his shot missed the PSBS Biak goal. Persib opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Following a counterattack, Dimas Drajad provided a cross from the right, which David Da Silva turned into a goal. Persib was ahead 1-0. The lead boosted Persib’s confidence, leading them to press on, but the score stayed 1-0 until the break.

The match between PSM Makassar and Persis Solo on Saturday, August 10, 2024, will be streamed live on Vidio starting at 15:30 WIB. PSM Makassar has undergone significant player changes, losing the Sayuri brothers and yet to find suitable replacements. PSM struggled in the 2024 President’s Cup, failing to win any of their three preseason matches. On the other hand, Persis Solo performed reasonably well in the President’s Cup, losing only twice in five games. Despite some inconsistency, Persis Solo, led by experienced coach Milomir Seslija, may start the league on a strong note. The teams previously met in the 2024 President’s Cup group stage, where they drew 2-2. In the 2023/2024 season, each team won one match against the other, both by a score of 1-0. PSM Makassar is expected to field many young players in the 2024/2025 season, aiming to play a ‘rock and roll’ style with their youth. However, experienced players like Muhammad Arfan and Yuran Fernandes will be crucial for the team. If they can effectively lead both tactically and technically, PSM could become a formidable team. “PSM Makassar has a lot of young players promoted to the senior team. But once again, I am ready to work hard and compete,” said PSM Makassar’s young player, Mufli Hidayat.

In the second half, PSBS Biak increased their attacking intensity, trying to level the score. Within seven minutes of the second half, PSBS Biak equalized to make it 1-1 with a goal from Alexsandro Ferreira. Persib responded quickly to this goal. In the 65th minute, Persib regained the lead at 2-1 with Beckham Putra heading in a cross from Ciro Alves.
