Telukpulau Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Katon Manaf made the kick off which started today's match. In the 10th minute, Katon Manaf ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mario Setiamiharja was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Yasin Hardianto charged in rather forcefully in the 12th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Yasin Hardianto the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 13th minute, Yasin Hardianto hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 17th minute, Katon Manaf 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. If Ignatius Rumba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 23 minutes into the match, PSI Untoro's goal looked a bit too open when Bulek Tarumanagara came free, but Hilman Solihin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Franky Waworuntu came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the PSI Untoro 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 Franky Waworuntu couldn't finish the play. Katon Manaf fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mario Setiamiharja having to interfere. In the 36th minute Katon Manaf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mario Setiamiharja saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Telukpulau FC's Mario Setiamiharja played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Franky Waworuntu in the 38th minute of play. After having played for 39 minutes, Bulek Tarumanagara managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Telukpulau FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bulek Tarumanagara was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to PSI Untoro getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Wahyu Muharam hit a great ball. With a little luck, PSI Untoro's Hilman Solihin got control of the ball when Ruhut Mandaga tried to sneak it across the goal line. Telukpulau FC were awarded a corner in the 47th minute after PSI Untoro's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Suki Arwana took the corner. The corner led Telukpulau FC's Suki Arwana to fire away a dangerous shot which Hilman Solihin despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Hilman Solihin stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Bulek Tarumanagara's shot from short distance in the 55th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Katon Manaf in the 57th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mario Setiamiharja saved Telukpulau FC from getting behind. Ignatius Rumba could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 61st minute of the match, but Mario Setiamiharja made a huge save. Ignatius Rumba sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 68th minute Bulek Tarumanagara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hilman Solihin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Boni Priyatno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ignatius Rumba received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Mario Setiamiharja tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 90th minute Franky Waworuntu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mario Setiamiharja saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Immanuel Andeas fell near the penalty area in the 92nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Telukpulau FC's protests and gave Immanuel Andeas a yellow card for diving instead. In the 94th minute Katon Manaf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mario Setiamiharja saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mario Setiamiharja showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Katon Manaf, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. PSI Untoro played a much better game than Telukpulau FC and deserved their victory. The Telukpulau FC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
