Persib Bandung still occupies the top position of Liga 1 2024/2025 even though they only drew 1-1 against PSBS Biak. Because, in another match, Persebaya Surabaya suffered a defeat which made Persib's points now start to move away in the standings.
Persib ended the 18th week match with a score of 1-1 when hosted by PSBS Biak at Lukas Enembe Stadium, Papua, Saturday (11/1/2025). Having fallen behind first and lost Nick Kuipers who was given a red card, Maung Bandung was finally able to equalize through a free kick fired by Tyronne del Pino.

With the addition of one point, Persib's position is increasingly solid at the top of the League 1 standings. Persib has now collected 40 points from 11 wins and 7 draws.

Meanwhile, Persib's closest competitor in the League 1 standings is only Persebaya Surabaya. But fortunately, Bajul Ijo failed to pick up points due to a 1-3 defeat when hosted by PSS Sleman at Manahan Stadium, Solo. So that Persebaya's total collected 37 points or 3 points behind Persib.

Yes, surprisingly, PSS Sleman was able to crush Persebaya's resistance. In fact, this season, Persebaya is the strongest candidate to become Persib Bandung's competitor in hunting for the championship title.
