PSS Salobiroe's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Eboy Akmal in the 50th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

After a rather tough play, PSS Salobiroe's Rabun Idris got a free kick in the 61st minute.
