Teknowarta – Persib Bandung has significantly extended their lead at the top of the Super League 2025/26 standings following a crucial 1-0 victory over Persita Tangerang. The thrilling encounter, held at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA) stadium on Sunday, February 22, 2026, saw the home side assert their dominance and strengthen their bid for the title.
The decisive moment of the match came in the 50th minute when Andrew Jung broke the deadlock. Capitalizing on a perfectly delivered corner kick from Guaycochea, Jung expertly headed the ball into the left corner of Persita‘s net, beyond the reach of goalkeeper Igor Rodrigues. This solitary goal was all Persib needed to secure a vital three points, further widening the gap between them and their closest rivals.
This hard-fought win now sees Persib firmly entrenched at the summit of the temporary standings with an impressive 50 points. Their nearest competitor, Borneo FC, suffered a setback, failing to close the distance on Persib or even overtake Persija, after succumbing to a 1-2 defeat against Dewa United. This result has only amplified Persib‘s commanding position as the Super League season progresses.
Beyond the enhanced league position, the triumph over Persita has also added two remarkable milestones to Persib‘s already stellar season, underscoring their exceptional form and consistency.
1. Unprecedented Clean Sheet Record
The match, which marked Persib‘s 21st outing (Week 22 of the league), saw them extend their incredible clean sheet record. With 13 shutouts this season, Persib currently boasts the most clean sheets of any team in the Super League. This formidable defensive record is largely attributed to the outstanding performances of their goalkeeper, Teja Paku Alam.
Teja Paku Alam has emerged as a beacon of local talent, consistently outshining many foreign goalkeepers in the league. Far from being overshadowed by more established international names, Teja has proven himself to be the league’s most formidable shot-stopper. In addition to leading in clean sheets, he also holds the impressive distinction of having conceded the fewest goals. From 21 matches played, Teja has only been beaten 11 times, a statistic that firmly establishes Persib as the most defensively robust team in the Super League.
2. Perfect 100 Percent Home Win Record at GBLA
The victory against Persita in Week 22 also solidifies Persib‘s status as the only team to maintain a flawless 100 percent winning record at their home ground, GBLA. This remarkable feat extends beyond simply collecting maximum points; Persib has also conceded just a single goal on their home turf throughout the entire season. The only time Teja‘s net was breached at GBLA was during Persib‘s 3-1 victory over Borneo FC on December 5, 2026, with Borneo‘s striker Vinicius scoring the lone goal. The win against Persita now marks Persib‘s 11th consecutive home victory, a testament to their impenetrable fortress at GBLA.
Summary
Persib Bandung secured a 1-0 victory over
