Persib Bandung overcame a second-half deficit to defeat Port FC 3-1 in their opening Group B match of the ASEAN Club Championship 2026-2027 on October 8, 2026. The match took place at PAT Stadium (also known as Stadion Thammasat) in Bangkok, Thailand.
The first half remained goalless as both teams created chances but failed to convert. Port FC broke the deadlock in the 66th minute through a penalty kick by Jude Soonsup-Bell after Ikhwan Tanamal fouled Kaka Mendes. Persib was awarded a penalty of their own in the 79th minute but the goal was overturned following a VAR review, which determined that Mariano Peralta had dived.
Persib mounted a dramatic comeback in the closing minutes. Mariano Peralta equalized in the 87th minute with an assist from Balsa Sekulic, before Berguinho extended the lead to 2-1 in the 90+2nd minute. Luka Menalo sealed the victory with a diving header in the 90+6th minute to make the final score 3-1.
The Indonesian champions, who won the BRI Super League 2025-2026, earned three points to claim second place in Group B alongside Johor Darul Ta'zim, who also has three points but better goal difference. Persib entered the tournament on strong form, having recently defeated FC Seoul 1-0 in the AFC Champions League 2. The victory provided momentum for their continental campaign, with group rivals including Port FC, JDT, and Lion City Sailors.
