Persija Jakarta Kicks Off BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 with a Convincing Win

Persija Jakarta attacked from the outset. Almeida opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a header that was deflected by Buyung Ismu. Barito Putera pushed forward and created several opportunities but could not find the equalizer before the break. Barito Putera continued to press in the second half, but it was Persija who increased their lead with a penalty from Almeida in the 71st minute. Almeida completed his hat-trick with another goal 10 minutes later, securing a 3-0 victory for Persija. The scoreline remained 3-0 until the final whistle.

Jaimerson Xavier will not join Bhayangkara FC in Liga 2. The former defender of Persija Jakarta and Persis Solo has signed with PSBS Biak, a promoted club for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Jaime had participated in pre-season with Bhayangkara FC, and even scored in a friendly match against PSIS Semarang. However, he chose to represent PSBS for the upcoming season. The 34-year-old has signed a short-term contract for the upcoming season. "Everything is finalized, and he will be joining the team shortly," said Yan Permenas Mandenas, President of PSBS, in a release. Jaime has already joined PSBS in Biak and is expected to be ready to play against PSM Makassar on August 16, 2024, at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta, Gianyar. "We want to strengthen our defense, and hopefully, Jaime will complete and bolster our backline," added Yan Mandenas. Jaime becomes the eighth foreign player at PSBS following Alexsandro from Brazil, Abel Arganaraz from Argentina, Gabriel Esparza from Argentina, Williams Lugo from Colombia, Takuya Matsunaga from Japan, Jonata Machado from Brazil, and Julian Velazquez from Argentina. Jaime first played in Liga 1 in 2018. In his debut season, the Brazil and Portugal league veteran led Macan Kemayoran to the championship.

The reason for Persija Jakarta’s cancellation of the friendly match against Atletico Madrid is their participation 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 impossible because we were in the third-place match of the 2024 President's Cup, right?" said Persija's Director, Mohamad Prapanca, to reporters. He explained that Atletico Madrid could only come 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.

Indeed, PSS Sleman lost in the first week of BRI Liga 1, but they shouldn’t be at the bottom of the standings. There are four other clubs that also lost and have worse goal differences. However, PSS Sleman is placed at the bottom of the standings according to PT LIB. Additionally, there is a note stating that PSS Sleman’s points have been deducted by three. This means PSS Sleman started the game with a -3 point situation! Why did PSS Sleman receive a three-point deduction? As of now, there is no explanation from the club, PT LIB, or PSSI. However, a hint has been provided by FX Harminanto, a journalist from Kedaulatan Rakyat. According to Harminanto, PSS Sleman received a (-3) point sanction from the PT Liga Indonesia Baru standings table. This is related to a past issue affecting the team in 2018. Details will be released by the club soon. Friday, August 9, 2024 Saturday, August 10, 2024 Sunday, August 11, 2024 Monday, August 12, 2024

PSS Sleman began the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season with a loss. However, the main concern is not just the defeat but the -3 points listed in the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 standings for PSS Sleman. PSS Sleman played against Persebaya Surabaya in the opening match of BRI Liga 1. At Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Sunday (August 11, 2024) night WIB, Super Elang Jawa lost 0-1 to Persebaya. PSS Sleman’s performance in this match was not bad. They managed to defend very solidly. However, a penalty goal from Bruno Moreira made the difference and left PSS Sleman without any points. PSS Sleman should have been recorded with 0 points in the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 standings. However, on the official Liga Indonesia Baru website, PSS Sleman is shown with a -3 points. What’s going on?
