Bali United defeated Persijap Jepara 6-1 at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta in Gianyar on 10 October, moving into the upper reaches of the Super League standings alongside Persija. The home victory came in the fourth round of the 2026/2027 season.

Despite early pressure from Bali United, the match remained goalless through the opening half-hour. Jort van der Sande broke the deadlock in the 38th minute from an I Kadek Agung pass. Remco Balk added another goal four minutes later, giving the hosts a 2-0 lead at the interval.

Van der Sande scored his second in the 57th minute after receiving a pass from Irfan Jaya. Queven da Silva Inacio then extended Bali United's advantage in the 66th minute.

Juan Douglas Teles pulled a goal back for Persijap with a powerful shot in the 72nd minute. Within a minute, however, Thijmen Goppel restored the hosts' four-goal cushion with a strike from outside the penalty area.

Irfan Jaya completed the scoring in stoppage time, with VAR confirming his goal. A confrontation between players late in the match also led to a red card for Bali United's Thomas Lam, who had initiated the provocation.
