After 7 played minutes Jambi got a freekick which was hit by Porman Haryanto.

Ichwan Alexander sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Djati Wibowo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Rabun Aswin came out of the goal in the 27th minute to try and stop a shot by Jambi's Porman Sugendo. But to his dismay, Porman Sugendo quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 30 minutes into the match, Wurjantoro's goal looked a bit too open when Porman Sugendo came free, but Rabun Aswin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nasum Ridliwan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 38 minutes into the game, Porman Sugendo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Rabun Aswin was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Porman Sugendo made a kick off. Rabun Aswin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Porman Sugendo in the 51st minute of the match. In the 53rd minute, Nasum Ridliwan 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.

Ade Sugendo kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Nasum Ridliwan in the 63rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Rabun Aswin, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Porman Sugendo in the 64th minute of play forced Wurjantoro's goalkeeper Rabun Aswin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nasum Ridliwan's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Rabun Aswin read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play. Wurjantoro's Rabun Aswin proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 77th minute of the match, managed to save Wurjantoro from getting a goal against them.
