Bhayangkara took three points from their third Liga 1 fixture of the season, beating Adhyaksa 2:0 at home on Friday. The result keeps the hosts in fifth place with five points from three matches, while Adhyaksa remain in 12th with three points and two defeats.
Allano broke the deadlock in the 55th minute, giving Bhayangkara the lead after a patient build-up. The visitors had weathered the opening period without major issues, but the breakthrough came when they least expected it. To be fair, Adhyaksa's defensive structure held firm for the first half.
The visitors added a second goal in stoppage time through T. Ichsan, though the nature of that strike complicated the evening for Adhyaksa. Galuh Nata had already been booked for the home side in the 61st minute, while M. Ocampo picked up a yellow for Bhayangkara in the 65th. By then, both teams were making changes to their line-ups.
Bhayangkara brought on five players across the second half, starting with B. Pondaag in the 29th minute and finishing with Galuh Nata and Vinicius Baiano in the 90th. Adhyaksa made four changes, bringing on K. Nishioka and F. Murari in the 70th and 76th minutes respectively. The manager turned to the kids when the game was already decided.
The match produced three yellow cards in total, with Bhayangkara collecting two and Adhyaksa one. There were no shots on target figures available, but the 2:0 scoreline tells you everything about how the game played out.
Bhayangkara's clean-sheet run came to an end in style, extending their unbeaten start to five points from three games. Adhyaksa's poor form continued with a second straight defeat, dropping them further down the table.
