Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Singgih Panjaitan got the match started through his kick off. Miftah Kalabessi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kelik Pelani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ari Sutimbul, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 12th minute, Izaak Abidin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tarsan Risandi, 13 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Aldri Suminta managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tanjung Fire's supporters rose to their feet, but Aldri Suminta was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kelik Pelani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 20th minute the ball was on its way in behind Eternal Curse's goalkeeper Kelik Pelani, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 27th match minute, Tanjung Fire was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Izaak Abidin to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Wahab Aryanto's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Otong Mulyana was relentless in the 30th minute of the game. Miftah Kalabessi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ari Sutimbul fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kelik Pelani having to interfere. Miftah Kalabessi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ali Papara hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. If Miftah Kalabessi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ari Sutimbul to strike the kick off in the second half. 56 minutes into the game, Izaak Abidin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tanjung Fire's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Eternal Curse the free kick. In the 58th match minute, Tanjung Fire was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Syahril Kartolo to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in Tanjung Fire's zone, Singgih Panjaitan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Otong Mulyana came out of the goal and Singgih Panjaitan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Miftah Kalabessi in the 63rd minute of play forced Eternal Curse's goalkeeper Kelik Pelani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 68th minute, Miftah Kalabessi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Kelik Pelani was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Ali Papara kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Miftah Kalabessi in the 85th minute of play forced Eternal Curse's goalkeeper Kelik Pelani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Miftah Kalabessi scored 3-0 in the 87th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kelik Pelani, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a little luck, Tanjung Fire's Otong Mulyana got control of the ball when Wahab Aryanto tried to sneak it across the goal line. Tanjung Fire were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Eternal Curse for a fine match.
