Inp.polri.go.id - Surabya. Defending champions Jakarta Bhayangkara Presisi claimed their second consecutive victory in the Proliga 2026 final four, defeating Jakarta Garuda Jaya in a dominant 3-0 sweep at Jawa Pos Arena on Saturday (4/4/2026).
"We are satisfied with the team's progress, though we must continue refining our coordination with our new international players," said Jakarta Bhayangkara Presisi Head Coach, Reidel Alfonso Toiran, as cited by antaranews.com.
The police-backed squad utilized powerful jump serves from Martin Petrov Atanasov and Bardia Saadat to dismantle Garuda Jaya’s defense, leading to a lopsided 25-15 score in the second set. Despite a brief surge from Garuda Jaya in the third period, captain Nizar Julfikar orchestrated a versatile offense that sealed the match at 25-17.
Garuda Jaya coach Nur Widayanto admitted his team struggled to anticipate the sheer force of the opponents' service aces. Bhayangkara Presisi now looks to maintain their momentum in the standings, focusing on integrating their foreign recruits as they prepare for the next high-stakes round of the elite competition in Surabaya.
