Ngantru Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hatta Sumampouw made the kick off which started today's match. 2 minutes into the game, Muchlas Antono cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Amien Nyakmad was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ade Gultom got free with Edyana Rais in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Edyana Rais didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 17th minute, which inside left pole to 1-1. After a rather tough play, PSM Ngantru's Ruhut Makariem got a free kick in the 21st minute. Amien Nyakmad came out of the goal in the 23rd minute to try and stop a shot by Pertjoet FC's Holin Sulistianto. But to his dismay, Holin Sulistianto quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Ade Gultom received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Edyana Rais tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Djaduk Arbi shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Hatta Sumampouw fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Edyana Rais having to interfere. 33 minutes into the game, Bulek Mangkudikusumah was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. PSM Ngantru's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Pertjoet FC the free kick. PSM Ngantru's Amien Nyakmad played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Holin Sulistianto in the 37th minute of play. If Holin Sulistianto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 42nd minute the ball was on its way in behind PSM Ngantru's goalkeeper Amien Nyakmad, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Amien Nyakmad showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Holin Sulistianto, who was totally free with the ball in the 45th minute. The PSM Ngantru players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Pertjoet FC were winning 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Holin Sulistianto to make the kick off. Pertjoet FC were awarded a corner in the 53th minute after PSM Ngantru's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Leo Maulana took the corner. The corner led Pertjoet FC's Leo Maulana to fire away a dangerous shot which Amien Nyakmad despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Muchlas Antono could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 56th minute of the match, but Amien Nyakmad made a huge save. After some careless play in the Pertjoet FC defense, Ade Gultom kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Edyana Rais. The Pertjoet FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Edyana Rais should have stopped the shot. When the match had gone on for 72 minutes, Ade Gultom put it in 3-2 from a short distance just to the right of Edyana Rais. In the 76thth minute of the game Hatta Sumampouw who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Pertjoet FC's Edyana Rais was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Edyana Rais made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ade Gultom in the 79th minute of play. 81 minutes into the game, Duta Sumirat was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pertjoet FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave PSM Ngantru the free kick. A collision led to Pertjoet FC getting a freekick after 81 minutes play. Duta Sumirat hit a great ball. Edyana Rais showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hatta Sumampouw in the 83rd minute of the match. For all the effort they put into the match, the Pertjoet FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for PSM Ngantru.
