The 2023/2024 BRI Liga 1 is halfway through. After 17 matches, fierce competition is not only seen in the standings but also in the top scorers' list.
Currently, Gustavo Almeida is the top scorer in the BRI Liga 1. The Arema FC striker further solidified his position after successfully equalizing the score at 1-1 against Madura United last Saturday (October 28, 2023).
Initially, Madura United took the lead with a goal scored by Lulinha in the 66th minute. Not wanting to be outdone, Gustavo scored a penalty in the 78th minute.
As a result, the Brazilian player has scored 12 goals in the first half of this BRI Liga 1 season. However, the gap with the players below him is very small.
Gustavo's position is closely followed by David da Silva and Alex Martins, who have both scored 11 goals. Both have made significant contributions to their respective teams.
David da Silva has helped steer Persib Bandung to the top of the current standings. Similarly, Alex Martins has ensured Dewa United maintains a mid-table position.
Next, Stefano Lilipaly (Borneo FC) and Carlos Fortes (PSIS Semarang) have both scored 9 goals.
