Persib Bandung edges toward Super League title as Borneo FC draws

Persib Bandung secured a 2-1 victory over PSM Makassar on 17 May 2026, with Thom Haye scoring the opening goal and the team finishing with 78 points at the top of the 2025/2026 BRI Super League. The win leaves Persib needing only a draw in their final match against Persijap Jepara to clinch the championship.

Meanwhile, Borneo FC were held to a goalless draw by Persijap Jepara on the same day, taking their total to 76 points and remaining two points behind Persib. The result moved Persijap to 13th place with 35 points. Borneo FC warned that a win in their last game against Malut United will be essential to overtake Persib if the league leaders stumble.

The three matches tightened the title race, with Persib in pole position, Borneo FC fighting to stay within striking distance, and Persijap maintaining a mid‑table safety.
