“Andrew Jung breaks the deadlock with a well-taken goal to put Persib ahead”
Pivotal“Triple substitution at halftime as both teams make tactical adjustments”
Persib
Ratchaburi Mitrphol FC
Persib secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Ratchaburi in this AFC Champions League Two encounter, with Andrew Jung's 40th-minute strike proving decisive. The match turned dramatically just before halftime when Ratchaburi's Uilliam Barros received a straight red card for a foul, leaving the Thai side to battle with ten men for the entire second half. Jung, who grabbed the winner, picked up a booking after the break but remained influential throughout. The result strengthens Persib's continental campaign while Ratchaburi face an uphill battle in the competition following this setback on the road.
How entertaining was this match?
Persib Bandung must overcome a mountainous 3-0 first-leg deficit when they host Ratchaburi Mitrphol FC in the AFC Champions League Two Round of 16 second leg. The Indonesian giants need at least four goals to advance directly in what coach Bojan Hodak calls a 'do-or-die' clash at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api.
