Persija Jakarta coach Mauricio Souza assessed that despite his team's 3-1 victory over host Dewa United in the 2025/2026 BRI Super League match, the match was very difficult.
Persija returned to winning ways against Dewa, after being held to a 1-1 draw by Malut United in their previous match. The victory propelled the Kemayoran Tigers back to the top of the Super League standings with 10 points.
"This was a very difficult match, both technically and tactically. Of the four matches we've played, this was the most difficult," Souza said at a post-match press conference at Banten International Stadium, Serang.
