Spectators: 158 (Terracing: 119, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gandung Waringin kicked off to start the match. Gandung Waringin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 2nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mercado Paulista F.C's Diego Vargas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Donnie Priatna in the 5th minute of play. In the 8th minute, Lukita Sialagan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Gandung Waringin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Forever Young's supporters rose to their feet, but Gandung Waringin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Diego Vargas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Forever Young were furious when Marcel Rantung was red carded, 17 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 19th match minute, Mercado Paulista F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Santos Kusko to maneuver through the defense. In the 26th minute, Gandung Waringin made a precise shot to the right of Diego Vargas. Mercado Paulista F.C's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. After some careless play in the Mercado Paulista F.C defense, Fabio Uria kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Diego Vargas. The Mercado Paulista F.C fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Diego Vargas should have stopped the shot. Gandung Waringin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Diego Vargas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Forever Young's Gandung Waringin got a free kick in the 34th minute. 35 minutes into the game, Syamsul Kuswoyo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Forever Young's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mercado Paulista F.C the free kick. In the 35th minute, Syamsul Kuswoyo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Diego Vargas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gandung Waringin in the 39th minute of play. After 44 played minutes Forever Young got a freekick which was hit by Gandung Waringin. The supporters of Forever Young booed when Mercado Paulista F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Baldomero Hernandez didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Baldomero Hernandez was the one to do the kick off. Sergio Burni kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. Sunar Auri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Forever Young's Dono Puspito got a free kick in the 64th minute. In the 71st minute Gandung Waringin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Diego Vargas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Fabio Uria came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Forever Young 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 Fabio Uria couldn't finish the play. After 79 minutes, Santos Kusko mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mercado Paulista F.C and the Forever Young players grew even worse after the yellow card. Santos Kusko kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. In the 80th minute, Gandung Waringin fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Diego Vargas, passed just outside the right post. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sunar Auri got free with Diego Vargas in the 83rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Sergio Burni charged in rather forcefully in the 88th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sergio Burni the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Diego Vargas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gandung Waringin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
