Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Zulkarnaen Prakoso started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Zulkarnaen Prakoso hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. After 7 minutes, Osin Sutikno mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tjandisari and the Manirka players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Tjandisari getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Osin Sutikno hit a great ball. If Zulkarnaen Prakoso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With an all-out effort, Manirka's Prabu Monginsidi threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Zulkarnaen Prakoso, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Prabu Monginsidi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zulkarnaen Prakoso in the 15th minute of play. Kevin Fatahillah struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. Ebieth Sulaiman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tjandisari. Manirka's Ebieth Sulaiman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kevin Fatahillah in the 30th minute of play. Tjandisari's Prabu Monginsidi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 32nd minute of the match, managed to save Tjandisari from getting a goal against them. Kevin Fatahillah's late challenge caught a Manirka's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kevin Fatahillah helped the player get up and apologised. Kevin Fatahillah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 45 minutes, Hendi Sudarmaji managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Manirka's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hendi Sudarmaji was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eko Situmorang in the 48th minute of play forced Manirka's goalkeeper Ebieth Sulaiman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eko Situmorang stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Tjandisari's Prabu Monginsidi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zulkarnaen Prakoso in the 51st minute of play. Fajri Ardianto's late challenge caught a Tjandisari's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Fajri Ardianto helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Manirka's Fajri Ardianto got a free kick in the 57th minute. With his leg Ebieth Sulaiman managed to avoid a goal in the 59thth minute, when Tjandisari's Kevin Fatahillah fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 61 minutes of play, Manirka's Zulkarnaen Prakoso made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Prabu Monginsidi was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 66th minute Eko Situmorang shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ebieth Sulaiman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Tjandisari booed when Manirka was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fajri Ardianto didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some careless play in the Manirka defense, Kevin Fatahillah kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ebieth Sulaiman. The Manirka fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ebieth Sulaiman should have stopped the shot. Thanks to some nice moves Kevin Fatahillah could shoot a difficult shot in the 76th minute, which Ebieth Sulaiman however easily saved by the left post. After 80 minutes, Ibenk Prima mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Manirka and the Tjandisari players grew even worse after the yellow card. Ijong Sunyoto's shot from long distance in the 81st minute was not bad at all, but Manirka's Ebieth Sulaiman knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. Hendi Sudarmaji sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Haris Malaiholo hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. Zulkarnaen Prakoso fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Prabu Monginsidi having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Aldri Fitrianto during the 93rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Manirka were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Tjandisari for a fine match.
