Desta Dharmasakti was out of position in the 86 minute of play, and Tino Sungkono capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Tino Sungkono really showed his touch with that goal: 3-2. A collision led to Sugihwaras getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Yanto Perdana hit a great ball. If Tino Sungkono had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute.

They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Sugihwaras.
