When Yudho Pangalila came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Puokenda 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 Yudho Pangalila couldn't finish the play.

Fadel Soeharto ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Dakiring FC's goalie and right to Harseno Zulfan. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Dakiring FC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 25th minute Ebieth Sutimbul shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pepep Sianturi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Puokenda FC defense, Fauzi Ludianto kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Stevanus Pohan.
