Persija Jakarta ace Gustavo has scored the first hat-trick of the 2024\/25 Liga 1 Indonesia season as he helped his team to a 3-0 win over Barito Putera in Saturday’s opening week match at the Jakarta International Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing in front of their passionate supporters, Persija immediately put pressure on Barito’s defense from the first minute of the match.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Macan Kemayoran<\/em>‘s attacking trio, consisting of Riko Simanjuntak, Gustavo, and Ryo Matsumura, launched an early offensive, but their attacks were successfully thwarted by the visiting team.<\/p>\n

Persija’s aggressive attacks finally paid off in the 11th minute. Gustavo broke the deadlock after capitalizing on a pass from Riko.<\/p>\n

As the first half progressed, Barito tried to challenge Persija’s defense. However, Carlos Pena’s men stood strong and soaked up all incoming\u00a0Laskar Antasari\u00a0<\/em>attacks.<\/p>\n

Despite maintaining pressure, Persija failed to extend their lead before the end of the first half. The score remained 1-0 in favor of Persija at half-time.<\/p>\n

Entering the second half, Persija successfully doubled their lead in the 71st minute through a penalty, flawlessly executed by Gustavo. Gustavo’s low shot to the right side of the goal was unstoppable by Satria Tama in the Barito goal.<\/p>\n

The referee awarded the penalty after reviewing the VAR, clearly showing that a Barito defender had committed a handball while trying to block Riko’s cross in the penalty box.<\/p>\n

Gustavo then completed his hat trick in the 82nd minute with a brilliant individual effort. He outmaneuvered the opposing defender before firing a powerful low shot into the bottom left corner of the goal.<\/p>\n

Despite being ahead, Persija continued to press until the final minutes. Substitute Marko Simic nearly extended Persija’s lead in the third minute of injury time, but his close-range shot missed the target after a one-on-one encounter with Satria.<\/p>\n

Simic’s chance was the last of the game as Persija held on to retain their three-goal advantage into the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s other match also saw PSM Makassar crushing Persis Solo 3-0 at the Batakan Stadium in Balikpapan, while newly-promoted Malut United earned themselves a historic point in a 1-1 draw away at last season’s runners-up Madura United.<\/p>\n

The results ensured that both Persija and PSM are within the top three of the Liga 1 standings, with defending champions Persib Bandung leading the way following their 4-1 opening day thrashing of PSBS Biak on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
