The team failed to secure any wins in four matches, earning two draws at home and suffering two losses away.
Their away losses included a 1-3 defeat to PSBS Biak at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium and a 0-2 loss against Persib Bandung at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. Persija managed two draws, with a 0-0 result against Dewa United FC at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium and a 1-1 tie with PSM Makassar at Sultan Agung Stadium.
Coach Carlos Pena admitted the results were disappointing. “A draw at home is not acceptable for Persija, and the losses away could have been avoided,” he expressed. Despite these struggles, as cited by ligaindonesiabaru. Pena remains hopeful for improvement.
Persija’s start to the season had been promising, with wins over PS Barito Putera and Persis, and a draw against Persita. However, the recent lack of finishing accuracy has affected the team's performance. “We wasted too many chances in front of the goal, which needs immediate improvement,” Pena noted.
Now, with 17 days before their next match against PSIS Semarang, Persija is focused on rebuilding. “We will keep improving, work harder, and aim for a win after the break,” Pena concluded.
