Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) 4 minutes into the match, Muaralaung's goal looked a bit too open when Artha Kasela came free, but Idrus Warauw reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Merem FC's zone, Trisno Simpatiaji stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pepep Hatala came out of the goal and Trisno Simpatiaji tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Pepep Hatala showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sondang Sialagan in the 18th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Merem FC's Harseno Syamsuddn got a free kick in the 19th minute. In the 25th minute the ball was on its way in behind Muaralaung's goalkeeper Idrus Warauw, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Wempy Rosadi scored 0-1 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Idrus Warauw, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Artha Kasela had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Muaralaung players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Merem FC were winning 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Artha Kasela stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A well placed Artha Kasela short distance shot in the 54th minute ended with a hard ball which without a chance for the goalkeeper went staright up into the goalkeepers left cross. In the 60th match minute, Merem FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gery Pradhana to maneuver through the defense. 67 minutes into the game, Gungun Wijasmara was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Muaralaung's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Merem FC the free kick. The supporters of Merem FC booed when Muaralaung was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gungun Wijasmara didn't get a good kick on the ball. Artha Kasela fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Idrus Warauw having to interfere. Wempy Rosadi succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 0-3 in the 74th playminute. In the 78th minute of the match Anton Suheri shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Pepep Hatala showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. If Sondang Sialagan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 93 minutes into the match, Trisno Simpatiaji notched a goal, 2-3, to the right of Merem FC's Pepep Hatala. Pepep Hatala was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Merem FC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
