Cipacet Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Diwak FC's Sakti Alatas started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 3 minutes into the match, Diwak FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rexy Sumarwoto came free, but Ichwan Al-Haddad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ardy Darmuis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jaya Mudaffar having to interfere. In the 10th minute, Fadhly Kosasih made a precise shot to the right of Ichwan Al-Haddad. Diwak FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. After 16 played minutes Cipacet got a freekick which was hit by Ading Nyakmad. A hard and well directed shot from Makbul Kotto led 17 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Cipacet's Jaya Mudaffar became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-1. 28 minutes into the match, Diwak FC's goal looked a bit too open when Rexy Sumarwoto came free, but Ichwan Al-Haddad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fadhly Kosasihs short, quick shot in the 32ndth minute got Ichwan Al-Haddad to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Nurul Iqbal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Rexy Sumarwoto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Ichwan Al-Haddad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ichwan Al-Haddad showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rexy Sumarwoto, who was totally free with the ball in the 49th minute. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rexy Sumarwoto was the one to do the kick off. With a little luck, Cipacet's Jaya Mudaffar got control of the ball when Ardy Darmuis tried to sneak it across the goal line. Fadhly Kosasih scored 2-1 in the 56th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ichwan Al-Haddad, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Diwak FC's Rebiyana Harjo got a free kick in the 61st minute. 62 minutes into the game, Rebiyana Harjo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Diwak FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Cipacet the free kick. Ichwan Al-Haddad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rexy Sumarwoto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jaya Mudaffar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sakti Alatas, who was totally free with the ball in the 83rd minute. After 85 minutes Cipacet's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Makbul Kotto who took care of the corner kick. In the 92nd minute Sakti Alatas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jaya Mudaffar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ardha Soedomo hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. If Fadhly Kosasih had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the Diwak 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 Cipacet.
