Pandapotan Romatua kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Reynaldo Dewa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Putu Akmal made a fantastic save in the 21st minute, when Pandapotan Romatua sent off a good shot on target. In the 24th minute Micky Sinulingga shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Putu Akmal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ade Simamora took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hardy Haryanto-Ie, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 28 minutes into the match, Sobodukuh's goal looked a bit too open when Hardy Haryanto-Ie came free, but Ade Simamora reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 32nd minute Iswadi Arbi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Putu Akmal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Kompos Sarwanto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ade Simamora having to interfere.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Micky Sinulingga to strike the kick off in the second half. Micky Sinulingga might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Putu Akmal. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Micky Sinulingga ran back to his position shaking his head. 57 minutes into the match, Polari FC's goal looked a bit too open when Micky Sinulingga came free, but Putu Akmal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ade Simamora showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hardy Haryanto-Ie, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. If Pandapotan Romatua had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pandapotan Romatua struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Putu Akmal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sobodukuh. Ari Chaniago charged in rather forcefully in the 76th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ari Chaniago the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 76th minute, Ari Chaniago hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
