Aras Riyanto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aras Riyanto in the 20th minute of play forced Belodo FC's goalkeeper Widhie Sudarno to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 27 minutes into the match, Belodo FC's goal looked a bit too open when Apep Iskandardinata came free, but Widhie Sudarno reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
