Sriwijaya FC vs Bekasi City Match Recap - Oct 26, 2025

In a match that played out like a tragic reflection of Sriwijaya FC's season, Bekasi City stole the spotlight on October 26, 2025, at Jakabaring Stadium, defeating the beleaguered home side 3-1. This defeat marks yet another setback for Sriwijaya, who now languish at the bottom of Liga 2, still searching for their first win of the season after six matches.

The visitors from Bekasi struck early, establishing control with a goal in the 22nd minute. Just two minutes later, they added another, showcasing a clinical edge that has been absent from Sriwijaya's performances so far this season. Before the first half drew to a close, Bekasi City found the net again, extending their lead to three goals through an unknown scorer as Sriwijaya's defense faltered under pressure.

After a grim first half, Sriwijaya FC managed to salvage a semblance of pride with a goal by an unidentified player in the 53rd minute, but it was little more than a consolation. The home side, desperate to undo their string of five defeats, struggled to sustain any momentum, their season aspirations seemingly slipping further from reach.

As the match wore on, Bekasi City, who came into the game sitting in sixth place with 8 points, not only stifled any hope of a comeback but also displayed a level of composure that has eluded Sriwijaya. The latter's season has been marked by heartbreak, with a solitary point across their last six outings and an average of barely one goal scored per match. Their recent form has left fans wondering if the arrival of coach Budi Sudarsono can indeed instigate a turnaround.

The match concluded with Bekasi's advantage solidified, even though they were reduced to ten men after a red card in the dying moments. While that incident may have provided a fleeting sense of optimism for Sriwijaya, they were unable to capitalize, leaving the match with nothing but a bitter sense of defeat.

Looking ahead, the stakes are high for Sriwijaya FC, who must regroup and harness the energy from their new managerial oversight if they hope to avoid relegation. With the next match looming, each passing game becomes increasingly critical, while Bekasi City must maintain their momentum in pursuit of higher ambitions within the league. For both teams, the path forward is fraught with challenges, but the urgency of their respective situations could serve as a catalyst for change in the coming fixtures.
