Budi Wijaya fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paijo Dewa having to interfere. 42 minutes into the game, Budi Wijaya lined in a short shot 3-0 behind a frustrated Paijo Dewa. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Budi Wijaya managed to get in a good position for a shot.

The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Uum Idris was the one to do the kick off. Pandapotan Eiboy hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Paijo Dewa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Budi Wijaya, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jakob Sinuhaji in the 61st minute of play forced Lakus's goalkeeper Paijo Dewa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Budi Wijaya's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Paijo Dewa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 64th minute of play. Pandapotan Eiboy recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Stadong FC's goalkeeper Andre Hidayat, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Lakus's zone, Jakob Sinuhaji stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Paijo Dewa came out of the goal and Jakob Sinuhaji tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Uum Idris fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andre Hidayat having to interfere. 90 minutes into the game, Uum Idris was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Lakus's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Stadong FC the free kick. After a rather tough play, Lakus's Uum Idris got a free kick in the 90th minute. If Jakob Sinuhaji had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Uum Idris might have been able to make a better finish in the 94th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Andre Hidayat. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Uum Idris ran back to his position shaking his head. For all the effort they put into the match, the Lakus players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Stadong FC.
