William Marcilio scores spectacular goal amid Persib’s poor performance

William Marcilio became the only player to score for Persib Bandung in the 2025 President’s Cup — a tournament that ended disappointingly for the 2024/25 Liga 1 champions.

Maung Bandung experienced a poor start in Group B — losing 0-2 against Port FC and drawing 1-1 against 10-man Dewa United.

The only bright moment came from William Marcilio‘s foot — the Brazilian midfielder newly signed from Arema FC unleashed a curved long-range shot that left goalkeeper Sonny Stevens frozen.

The player who recorded 5 goals and 6 assists with Arema FC last season has yet to lift team performance — Persib was eliminated from the tournament as group bottom-dwellers without points.
