Datumakuta Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Irul Fuadi took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, PS Bunginkela's goalkeeper Yonas Simbolon had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abdika Wuysang. Irul Fuadi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 8th minute, Abdika Poesponegoro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Yuma Malaiholo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 11th minute of the match Steven Novrizal shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Yonas Simbolon showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Batara Linggawarman in the 13th minute of play forced Datumakuta FC's goalkeeper Robin Wijaya to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Faisal Likumahua came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the PS Bunginkela 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 Faisal Likumahua couldn't finish the play. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 24th minute of the game. One of PS Bunginkela:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Datumakuta FC:s goal. When Irfan Prima fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored PS Bunginkela's protests and gave Irfan Prima a yellow card for diving instead. Irfan Prima hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. If Nasir Wijaya had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Abdika Wuysang came free with the goalkeeper in the 38th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Yonas Simbolon could save by the left post. A collision led to Datumakuta FC getting a freekick after 46 minutes play. Yuma Malaiholo hit a great ball. In the 47th minute, a hard, long distance shot from Widhie Oktavianus hit the top of the crossbar and flew over the goal.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Batara Linggawarman was the one to do the kick off. Khalis Lantang kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Irul Fuadi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yonas Simbolon was relentless in the 57th minute of the game. In the 61st minute, Irfan Prima got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After a rather tough play, Datumakuta FC's Desta Novitraldi got a free kick in the 66th minute. Robin Wijaya made an important save on a dangerous shot by Batara Linggawarman in the 70th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Abdika Wuysang managed to get in a good position for a shot. Datumakuta FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Abdika Wuysang was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yonas Simbolon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 82nd minute, Abdika Wuysang got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Abdika Wuysang received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Yonas Simbolon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Batara Linggawarman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Batara Linggawarman scored 1-1 in the 96th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Robin Wijaya, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
