Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Martinus Tampubolon took the kick off in the first half of the match. Rantjakebo FC's Fadel Aryanto played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Makbul Budikusuma in the 5th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Rantjakebo FC's zone, Ruhut Anggadiredja stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Fadel Aryanto came out of the goal and Ruhut Anggadiredja tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 13 minutes into the match, Makbul Budikusuma had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fadel Aryanto. Rantjakebo FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Makbul Budikusuma was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 17th minute, Abadi Marantika fired a really elegant long shot, but Artha Sinurat threw himself and managed to get hold of the ball just in front of the right post. After a rather tough play, PSP Muncung's Putut Priyatno got a free kick in the 18th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Martinus Tampubolon in the 19th minute of play forced PSP Muncung's goalkeeper Artha Sinurat to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Makbul Budikusuma 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.
