Semifinal Results of 2026 President's Cup: Persib Leads 2-0 over Persija in First Half

Persib Bandung was dominant in the first half of the 2026 President's Cup semifinal, taking a 2-0 lead over Persija Jakarta at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium in Gianyar, Bali, Tuesday (4/8). Two goals came within six minutes through a free kick by Uilliam Barros (22') and a penalty by Balsa Sekulic (28'). By halftime, Persib had recorded six shots on target without a single reply from Persija. Ball possession was relatively even between the two teams, with Persib's passing accuracy at 86 percent (228/266) and Persija's at 84 percent (167/198), but the Maung Bandung defense managed to stifle the attacks of the Macan Kemayoran. Persib has a chance to continue their clean sheet trend and secure a ticket to the final if they can maintain their intensity. Persija needs to be more aggressive in the second half after posing no real threat in the first 45 minutes. https://kabarbaik.co/hasil-semifinal-piala-presiden-2026-persib-menyala-babak-pertama-persija-kebobolan-2-gol/
