Persijap Jepara Secures Survival in BRI Super League After 3-0 Win Over Struggling Persita Tangerang

Persijap Jepara Persita Tangerang BRI Super League relegation battle goal drought

On a Sunday in early May 2026, Persijap Jepara defeated Persita Tangerang 3‑0 at the Banten International Stadium. Brazilian winger Carlos Franca scored in the 76th minute, followed by Sudi Abdallah in stoppage time, while Persita failed to score.

The victory lifted Persijap to 13th place with 34 points, keeping them six points clear of the relegation zone and guaranteeing their place in next season's BRI Super League. Persita, meanwhile, slipped to ninth place with 44 points after a prolonged goal drought – only one goal in their previous seven league matches. Coach Carlos Pena expressed frustration over the team's lack of offensive output, and goalkeeper Igor Rodrigues defended his commitment to the club despite outside interest.

Franca highlighted the significance of the win for Jepara’s supporters and the local community, thanking fans and his family for their support. Persijap now faces two remaining fixtures against Borneo FC and Persib Bandung as the season concludes.
