Spectators: 9167 (Terracing: 6894, Seating: 2113, VIP seats: 160) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Dennis Lukoye started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute, Ferry Simanungkalit ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Zulfikar Ridliwan was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. If Ferry Simanungkalit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ruslan Karo-karo charged in rather forcefully in the 11th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ruslan Karo-karo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Skroe FC booed when Lubukraja was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ruslan Karo-karo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 21st minute Andre Kooth shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zulfikar Ridliwan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 22 minutes, Alan Aswin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Lubukraja and the Skroe FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Alan Aswin kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. With a little luck, Lubukraja's Zulfikar Ridliwan got control of the ball when Ferry Simanungkalit tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ruslan Karo-karo got his second yellow card in the match during the 25th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. In the 26th minute, Ruslan Karo-karo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 27 minutes into the game, Andre Kooth recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Zulfikar Ridliwan. Andre Kooth showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-0. Zulfikar Ridliwan made a fantastic save in the 35th minute, when Ferry Simanungkalit sent off a good shot on target. Ferry Simanungkalit could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 37th minute of the match, but Zulfikar Ridliwan made a huge save. In the 38th minute, Martin Prima hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 45th minute the ball was on its way in behind Lubukraja's goalkeeper Zulfikar Ridliwan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Andre Kooth was the one to do the kick off. In the 53rd minute Dennis Lukoye shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fadh Darwis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Zulfikar Ridliwan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Andre Kooth's shot from short distance in the 56th minute. In the 58th minute Ferry Simanungkalit shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zulfikar Ridliwan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Zulfikar Ridliwan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andre Kooth in the 58th minute of play. After 60 minutes of play, Skroe FC's Ferry Simanungkalit made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Zulfikar Ridliwan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ruslan Wijaya's late challenge caught a Lubukraja's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ruslan Wijaya helped the player get up and apologised. 83 minutes into the match, Lubukraja's goal looked a bit too open when Joshua Febrian came free, but Zulfikar Ridliwan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Manrut Yavichai sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Rochy Waluyo fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lubukraja's protests and gave Rochy Waluyo a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Skroe FC booed when Lubukraja was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rochy Waluyo didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Lubukraja's zone, Andre Kooth stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zulfikar Ridliwan came out of the goal and Andre Kooth tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 96th minute, Lubukraja's Alan Aswin seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Alan Aswin the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Lubukraja protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Alan Aswin had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Zulfikar Ridliwan had in the 98thth minute some difficulties stopping Ari Mulia's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball.
