The home side took control of the game from the onset with Philipe Maia having the first sight of goal in the fifth minute when he fired his effort high from distance, while Kyoga Nakamura came close four minutes later when he tested Persib keeper Teja Paku Alam with a long-range effort.
Persib, content with soaking up the pressure, came close to breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute when Beckham Putra latched onto a wayward clearance with an acrobatic strike which just missed the target.

The visitors began to exert themselves into the game with Putra again in the thick of things just after the half-hour mark when he sent a delightful cross for Andrew Jung at the near post, only for Maia to intercept with a headed clearance.
Bangkok tried to break down Persib’s defences and a build-up play in the 34th minute opened up space for Maia, who forced a fine low save from Teja.

Persib, however, stunned the home fans in the 42nd minute after Marc Klok played a neat exchange with Uilliam, who then broke into the box to set up Jung for the simplest of finishes.
Bangkok were let off the hook at the hour mark when keeper Patiwat Khammai spilled Luciano Guaycochea’s shot onto the path of Jung, who turned the rebound into the net, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.

Persib were not to be denied their second in the 71st minute when Jung’s cross into the box was deflected into the path of Uilliam, whose curling effort came off Everton and settled in the back of the net.
Bangkok tried to respond in the closing stages with Seia Kunori and Richairo Zivkovic seeing their efforts from outside the box thwarted, while Patiwat palmed away Wiliam Marcilio’s dipping shot as Persib held on to seal the win.
The Indonesia Super League side will entertain Selangor FC of Malaysia on Matchday Three with Bangkok United will look to bounce back when they host Sailors.
