Kalimantan FC secured a 3-1 win over Arema FC in week 23 BRI Indonesia Super League at Segiri Stadium, Thursday 26 February 2026 evening. The hosts had secured three goals in the first half, a foundation that made the visitors’ resistance in the second half not enough to change the final result.

From the first minute, Borneo FC immediately took the initiative. A quick goal in the 7th minute was the starting point for a match that completely moved according to the hosts’ plan.

Villa determines the direction of the match

Borneo FC’s first lead came from Caxambu’s feet after using Mohammad Anez’s pass. This goal not only opened the scoring, but also set the tempo of the game. Borneo FC looked calmer in controlling the ball, while Arema FC was forced to adjust their rhythm.

Juan Felipe Villa then widened the distance in the 26th minute. The attacks that were built effectively made it difficult for the visiting team’s defense to anticipate movements in the final third of the field.

Approaching halftime, Villa put his name on the scoreboard again in the 42nd minute after receiving an assist from Mariano Peralta. The score of 3-0 closed the first half, while showing the efficiency of Borneo FC’s attacks in taking advantage of opportunities.

The three-goal lead practically changed the dynamics of the match. Arema FC had to play more openly in the second half, while the hosts were in a position to control the situation.

A goal in return does not change the result

Arema FC responded in the 64th minute through Dalberto who received a pass from Gustavo. This goal cut the difference to 3-1 and opened up hope for the visitors.

However, until the match ended, additional goals did not come. The pressure efforts built by Arema FC were not consistent enough to dismantle the Borneo FC defense which was already in a comfortable superior position.

This victory emphasizes how effectiveness in the first half is the key in the Indonesian Super League. In tight competition, the ability to lock up a match early often determines the final result. Borneo FC maximized momentum from the early minutes, while Arema FC had to pay dearly for their negligence in the first 45 minutes.

The 3-1 score lasted until the final whistle sounded at Segiri Stadium, closing the 23rd match week with three points for the hosts.
