JAKARTA (JP): Persija now leads the western division of the
2001 Bank Mandiri soccer league after defeating visitors
Persiraja Banda Aceh at the Lebak Bulus Stadium, South Jakarta,
Wednesday.

Persija striker Widodo C. Putro produced the home team's sole
goal two minutes before the final whistle blew to put Persija on
top of the standings with 17 points.

Play maker Luciano Leandro fed Bambang Pamungkas the ball who
directly gave it to Widodo. Widodo kicked the ball into the net
despite the best efforts of Persiraja goalie Sukirmanto.

Referee Ahmadi issued two yellow cards to Jody Kartika and
Ibrahim Hehanusa of Persiraja, Antara reported. (yan)
