Borneo FC Claims Top Spot in Super League, Tightens Championship Race
Jakarta – Borneo FC has surged to the top of the Super League standings after a crucial 1-0 victory over Persik Kediri on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. The win puts pressure on defending champions Persib Bandung, who have a game in hand and the opportunity to reclaim the lead.
Koldo Obieta’s 55th-minute goal proved decisive at Stadion Brawijaya, securing three points for Pesut Etam and elevating them to 69 points. This marks a significant shift in the league table, with Borneo FC displacing Persib Bandung, who currently have 66 points from 29 matches.
A Championship Battle Down to the Wire
While Borneo FC now leads, Persib Bandung has a chance to respond on Thursday, April 30, 2026, against Bhayangkara FC. A victory for Persib would see them regain the top position, leveraging their head-to-head advantage over Borneo FC – having won one match and drawn another against them this season.
The competition isn’t limited to these two giants. Persija Jakarta remains in contention, sitting in third place with 62 points from 30 games. Mathematically, all three teams still have a viable path to the championship title and qualification for Asian competitions.
Fabio Lefundes’ Impact and Borneo FC’s Resurgence
Borneo FC’s ascent to the summit is a notable achievement for manager Fabio Lefundes. The team had previously relinquished the top spot in week 16, and this victory signifies a 14-week wait to return to the league’s pinnacle. The team’s consistent performance, boasting 22 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, demonstrates their strength and resilience throughout the season.
The league standings as of April 29, 2026, are as follows:
| Position | Team | Main | Main | Seri | Kalah | Selisih Gol | Poin |
| 1 | Borneo FC | 30 | 22 | 3 | 5 | 62-28 | 69 |
