Koreak Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Usep Fabanyo made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute, Hamka Pangestu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Dani Novara recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 15 minutes into the match, Harvey Lumbanraja had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Toto Tarumanagara. Batutiris's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Harvey Lumbanraja was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bobby Soeprapto in the 18th minute of play forced Batutiris's goalkeeper Toto Tarumanagara to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Koreak's Harvey Lumbanraja got a good chance for a goal in the 20th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Batutiris's zone, Bobby Soeprapto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Toto Tarumanagara came out of the goal and Bobby Soeprapto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ardy Hasanuddin's late challenge caught a Koreak's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ardy Hasanuddin helped the player get up and apologised. Harvey Lumbanraja received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Toto Tarumanagara came out and tried to block the shot, but Harvey Lumbanraja slotted it home off the left post making it 2-0 in the 26th minute. Heri Mihardja showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dani Novara in the 32nd minute of the match. If Dani Novara had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Harvey Lumbanraja got free with Toto Tarumanagara in the 43rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 44th minute Usep Fabanyo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Heri Mihardja saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Bobby Soeprapto to strike the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, Batutiris's goal looked a bit too open when Harvey Lumbanraja came free, but Toto Tarumanagara reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Entis Widagdo charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Entis Widagdo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Entis Widagdo kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. After 65 played minutes, Koreak's Husin Yarman shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Toto Tarumanagara came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Koreak reached it. 67 minutes into the game, Koreak's Harvey Lumbanraja nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Toto Tarumanagara made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. If Bobby Soeprapto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dani Novara could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 80th minute of the match, but Heri Mihardja made a huge save. If Harvey Lumbanraja had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 85 played minutes Batutiris got a freekick which was hit by Entis Widagdo. 86 minutes into the match, Koreak's Husin Yarman broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After having played for 96 minutes, Dani Novara managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Batutiris's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dani Novara was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
