Lubuktarap Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nickolous Supardi kicked off to start the match. Djaduk Alaydrus's late challenge caught a Putra Ditmarse's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Djaduk Alaydrus helped the player get up and apologised. In a very dangerous position, a player in Putra Lubuktarap fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 2nd minute. Penalty!

When Ansyari Syarifudin came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Putra Ditmarse fans jumped to their feet.
