Latuhelu Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Darwin Prastika started the match with the kick off. Pekadjan FC's Martinus Haryono proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 4th minute of the match, managed to save Pekadjan FC from getting a goal against them. 6 minutes into the match, Niki Ashraff had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jajat Tirtana. PSM Latuhelu's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Niki Ashraff was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Jossi Setiadis short, quick shot in the 10thth minute got Martinus Haryono to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Noce Yulianto in the 13th minute of play forced PSM Latuhelu's goalkeeper Jajat Tirtana to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Jossi Setiadi managed to get in a good position for a shot. PSM Latuhelu's supporters rose to their feet, but Jossi Setiadi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Martinus Haryono breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 24 minutes into the match, Pekadjan FC's goalkeeper Martinus Haryono had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jossi Setiadi. Niki Ashraff sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 28 played minutes Pekadjan FC got a freekick which was hit by Noce Yulianto. Jossi Setiadi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Martinus Haryono having to interfere. With a little luck, Pekadjan FC's Martinus Haryono got control of the ball when Jossi Setiadi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Jajat Tirtana took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Noce Yulianto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Martinus Haryono showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Darwin Prastika in the 44th minute of the match. Fachrul Iswanto kicked well hit freekick during the 47th minute of the match. The PSM Latuhelu players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Pekadjan FC were winning 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Niki Ashraff to make the kick off. Noce Yulianto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 54th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Jossi Setiadi charged in rather forcefully in the 58th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jossi Setiadi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 58 played minutes PSM Latuhelu got a freekick which was hit by Jossi Setiadi. After having played for 60 minutes, Noce Yulianto managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pekadjan FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Noce Yulianto was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Gendo Chaniago kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. Hendri Baihaqi's late challenge caught a PSM Latuhelu's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hendri Baihaqi helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Pekadjan FC's Hendri Baihaqi got a free kick in the 70th minute. 71 minutes into the match, Jossi Setiadi notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Pekadjan FC's Martinus Haryono. Martinus Haryono was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Jossi Setiadi, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 76 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Martinus Haryono was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Jajat Tirtana didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Noce Yulianto went, in the 79th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score.
