Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Hardy Sinuhaji started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After a rather tough play, Daludalu's Awalludin Sitepu got a free kick in the 10th minute. Daludalu's Sipiongot Priyatno proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 11th minute of the match, managed to save Daludalu from getting a goal against them. After 13 played minutes Mahendra got a freekick which was hit by Hardy Sinuhaji. The audience was convinced that Cecep Sitepu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Donny Suprianto was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. Mahendra's Jatuh Suprianto pulled a muscle in his leg after 20 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Fadh Ie's late challenge caught a Mahendra's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Fadh Ie helped the player get up and apologised. Mahendra made a substitution. Joshua Sinambela replaced Jatuh Suprianto. After a rather tough play, Daludalu's Fadh Ie got a free kick in the 22nd minute. 23 minutes into the game, Mahendra's Dian Pane nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Sipiongot Priyatno made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Leonard Dermawan scored 1-1 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Donny Suprianto, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 36th minute Cecep Sitepu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Donny Suprianto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 37 minutes, Leonard Dermawan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Daludalu and the Mahendra players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 37 played minutes Daludalu got a freekick which was hit by Leonard Dermawan. When Hardy Sinuhaji came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Mahendra fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Hardy Sinuhaji couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Daludalu's Sipiongot Priyatno got control of the ball when Dian Pane tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Hardy Sinuhaji had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 44th minute Dian Pane shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sipiongot Priyatno saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Joshua Sinambela made a great header on Mahendra's corner, it was just that Daludalu's Sipiongot Priyatno managed to reach the ball for a save. The supporters of Mahendra booed when Daludalu was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 47 match minutes in a wonderful position. Putu Ridliwan didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Awalludin Sitepu fell near the penalty area in the 48th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Daludalu's protests and gave Awalludin Sitepu a yellow card for diving instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

In the 57th minute, Dian Pane ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Sipiongot Priyatno was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. Sipiongot Priyatno took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dian Pane, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 66th minute, Hardy Sinuhaji got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dian Pane in the 68th minute of play forced Daludalu's goalkeeper Sipiongot Priyatno to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hardy Sinuhaji recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sipiongot Priyatno made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hardy Sinuhaji in the 76th minute of play. After recieving a nice pass, Mahendra's Fery Hans tried to score from far away in the 82nd minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the 85th minute Dian Pane shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sipiongot Priyatno saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Mahendra booed when Daludalu was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leonard Dermawan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sipiongot Priyatno showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hardy Sinuhaji in the 97th minute of the match. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Mahendra had played much better football throughout.
