Pesik Kuningan claimed a commanding 2-0 victory over Persigar Garut in an Indo D4 fixture at the Kuningan Stadium on 29 June 2026. The home side delivered a composed performance to secure three crucial points and continue their push toward the top half of the table.

Match Overview

From the first whistle, Pesik Kuningan dictated the tempo. Their midfield pressed high and forced Persigar Garut into several early turnovers. The breakthrough came just before the half-hour mark when a well-worked corner routine saw striker Andi Firmansyah rise highest to head home from close range. The goal settled the home side and they controlled possession through the remainder of the first period.

Key Moments

• 27th minute: Andi Firmansyah’s powerful header from a corner kick gives Pesik Kuningan the lead.
• 53rd minute: Referee awards a penalty after a clumsy challenge in the box. Captain Rudi Hermawan steps up and calmly slots the ball into the bottom left corner to double the advantage.
• 74th minute: Persigar Garut create their best chance – a long-range effort from midfielder Agus Sudrajat that forces a sharp save from home goalkeeper Diki Permana.
• 89th minute: Pesik Kuningan almost add a third, but a goal-line clearance denies them.

Tactical Story

Pesik Kuningan set up in a 4-4-2 formation, relying on wide deliveries and second‑ball recoveries. Persigar Garut, playing a 4-3-3, struggled to build from the back because of aggressive pressing. The home side’s double pivot neutralised any threat in central areas, forcing the visitors into speculative crosses that were comfortably dealt with by the centre‑backs.
