PSP Simpadang's Utoh Damara played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tintus Setiana in the 39th minute of play. After 41 minutes of play Parapotang FC's Leo Pane was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 41st match minute, Parapotang FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Leo Pane to maneuver through the defense. PSP Simpadang's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Sahat Fabanyo in the 44th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Parapotang FC's goalie and right to Ari Sonneville. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Parapotang FC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Juliadi Saiman stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Parapotang FC's Aga Sirait got a free kick in the 54th minute.

When Dodik Pandelaki came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Parapotang FC 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 Dodik Pandelaki couldn't finish the play. Parapotang FC's Uu Ardisuta played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Juliadi Saiman in the 83rd minute of play.

Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
