Mandate
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Thoyib Kapisa kicked off to start the match. After having played for 3 minutes, Thoyib Kapisa managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Molabo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Thoyib Kapisa was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 5th minute, Thoyib Kapisa left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Molabo fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Molabo's Toyo Tarusbawa proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 15th minute of the match, managed to save Molabo from getting a goal against them. Mandate FC's Meggy Mandias got a good chance for a goal in the 21st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 22nd minute Chris Restiana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Toyo Tarusbawa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Molabo's Ida Bagus Pattinasarani pulled a muscle in his leg after 23 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 23 minutes, Meggy Mandias mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Mandate FC and the Molabo players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 24th minute, Meggy Mandias hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 36th minute Chris Restiana shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Toyo Tarusbawa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sugih Tuheteru hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. If Meggy Mandias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Chris Restiana to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 62nd minute Meggy Mandias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Toyo Tarusbawa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 63 played minutes Molabo got a freekick which was hit by M. Fachrul Bangun. Meggy Mandias fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Toyo Tarusbawa having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Yusuf Atmadja managed to get in a good position for a shot. Molabo's supporters rose to their feet, but Yusuf Atmadja was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Asmadi Supardi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 68 minutes into the game, Jojon Haryanto was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Molabo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mandate FC the free kick. Jojon Haryanto hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Chris Restiana's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Toyo Tarusbawa was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. Yusuf Atmadja fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Asmadi Supardi having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Yusuf Atmadja managed to get in a good position for a shot. Molabo's supporters rose to their feet, but Yusuf Atmadja was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Asmadi Supardi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a little luck, Mandate FC's Asmadi Supardi got control of the ball when Yusuf Atmadja tried to sneak it across the goal line. 83 minutes into the game, Yusuf Atmadja recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Asmadi Supardi. Yusuf Atmadja showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. A collision led to Molabo getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. M. Fachrul Bangun hit a great ball. Meggy Mandias received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Toyo Tarusbawa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 90th minute, Chris Restiana ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Toyo Tarusbawa was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
