Muaralaung's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sondang Sialagan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 9 minutes into the game, Meggy Permana was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gogodalem's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Muaralaung the free kick. A collision led to Gogodalem getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Meggy Permana hit a great ball. After some careless play in the Gogodalem defense, Trisno Simpatiaji kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Dewa Sjahrir. The Gogodalem fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Dewa Sjahrir should have stopped the shot. In the 19th minute, Gogodalem's Yustedjo Suryadi seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Yustedjo Suryadi the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Gogodalem protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Yustedjo Suryadi had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 18th minute, one of Gogodalem:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Gogodalem. In the 21st minute there was a penalty for Muaralaung. Anton Suheri stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Dewa Sjahrir. 2-0. With his leg Dewa Sjahrir managed to avoid a goal in the 24thth minute, when Muaralaung's Trisno Simpatiaji fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Dewa Sjahrir took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sondang Sialagan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Trisno Simpatiaji fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dewa Sjahrir having to interfere. In the 32nd minute Sondang Sialagan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dewa Sjahrir saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 35 minutes into the match, Gogodalem's Utha Aksan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Idrus Warauw narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Gungun Wijasmara charged in rather forcefully in the 37th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Trisno Simpatiaji took the ball and in the 58 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dewa Sjahrir. Dewa Sjahrir dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. After 66 played minutes Gogodalem got a freekick which was hit by Ruslan Kartiwa. 71 minutes into the match, Gogodalem's goal looked a bit too open when Sondang Sialagan came free, but Dewa Sjahrir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Trisno Simpatiaji had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ace Sugiarto during the 74th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Muaralaung booed when Gogodalem was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ace Sugiarto didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Trisno Simpatiaji in the 76th minute of play forced Gogodalem's goalkeeper Dewa Sjahrir to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Dewa Sjahrir showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Trisno Simpatiaji, who was totally free with the ball in the 78th minute. Dewa Sjahrir made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sondang Sialagan in the 79th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sondang Sialagan in the 81st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dewa Sjahrir saved Gogodalem from getting behind. After 83 minutes of play, Muaralaung's Sondang Sialagan made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dewa Sjahrir was left in no man's land by his defense there! Trisno Simpatiaji sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 96 minutes into the match, Muaralaung's goalkeeper Idrus Warauw had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Daus Sutrisna.
