Losari Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Candra Piliang took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kitam Haryanto in the 6th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Henry Eiboy saved Losari from getting behind. PSM Tagir's Sigit Putiray got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Kitam Haryanto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Henry Eiboy tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kitam Haryanto struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Henry Eiboy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PSM Tagir. Henry Eiboy showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sigit Putiray in the 21st minute of the match. If Donny Hidayat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Donny Hidayat recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Donny Hidayat came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Losari 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 Donny Hidayat couldn't finish the play. After having played for 43 minutes, Sigit Putiray managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. PSM Tagir's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sigit Putiray was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Kitam Haryanto made a kick off. Losari's Henry Eiboy proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Losari from getting a goal against them. In the 59th minute, Donny Hidayat made a precise shot to the right of Mario Barus. PSM Tagir's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. In the 66thth minute of the game Kitam Haryanto who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Losari's Henry Eiboy was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 67th minute, Djati Martin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Donny Hidayat fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mario Barus having to interfere. After having played for 77 minutes, Candra Piliang managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Losari's supporters crossed their fingers, but Candra Piliang was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 79 played minutes PSM Tagir got a freekick which was hit by Jakob Idris. Losari's Nasum Ginting couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 80th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for PSM Tagir. 81 minutes into the game, Candra Piliang cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Mario Barus was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Losari's zone, Kitam Haryanto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Henry Eiboy came out of the goal and Kitam Haryanto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Donny Hidayat recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 96th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. For all the effort they put into the match, the PSM Tagir players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Losari.
