Jordi Amat Expresses Anger as Persija Jakarta Draws with Dewa United

Jakarta, Indonesia – Persija Jakarta defender Jordi Amat voiced his frustration following the team’s 1-1 draw against Dewa United in a Super League 2025/2026 match held at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) on Sunday, March 15th, 2026.

Disappointment in the Dressing Room

Amat expressed his disappointment and anger after the match, stating that the result was not what the team desired. He highlighted the team’s missed opportunity to secure three points in front of their home fans, The Jakmania. “We are incredibly disappointed, very angry. This is not the result we wanted and we expected a better game. Today was a terrible day,” Amat said after the game as reported by CNN Indonesia.

The draw came after Maxwell scored for Persija in the 45+4th minute, only for Dewa United to equalize through Alexis Messidoro in the 55th minute. Amat emphasized the significance of the missed opportunity, particularly in the context of the Super League championship race. “Today we had a bigger chance but we missed it again. We missed it again. That’s why I’m very angry. The atmosphere in the dressing room was also sad,” he added.

Impact on League Standings

The result leaves Persija Jakarta in third place in the Super League standings with 52 points. Borneo FC currently holds second place with 54 points, even as Persib Bandung leads the league with 58 points. CNN Indonesia reports that the league will be paused for FIFA Matchday before resuming on April 3rd.

Looking Ahead

Despite the setback, Amat remains determined to fight for the championship until the end of the season. He expressed hope for improved results in future matches for the capital city’s pride. Kompas.com also noted the heated atmosphere in the Persija Jakarta dressing room following the match.
