PSI Tjibuah's supporters rose to their feet, but Honestra Pelangi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

When Hendratmo Lesmana came up free with the goalie in the 48th minute, the PSI Tjibuah 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 Hendratmo Lesmana couldn't finish the play.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Honestra Pelangi was the one to do the kick off. If Ibing Zulfan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
