Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Ardha Sitepu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yatna Sutimbul, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 7th minute, Adi Bangun made a precise shot to the right of Nandang Abidin. HGPM FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. 10 minutes into the game, one of BTHON FC:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Anak Agung Sopacua placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! After 17 minutes of play, HGPM FC's Yatna Sutimbul made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ardha Sitepu was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Yatna Sutimbul came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the HGPM FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Yatna Sutimbul couldn't finish the play. 23 minutes into the match, Endang Darmawan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Nandang Abidin. HGPM FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Endang Darmawan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. Armand Purwanto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, HGPM FC's Febri Ramdhani got a free kick in the 32nd minute. In the 35th match minute, HGPM FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sebastian Simangunsong to maneuver through the defense.

Endang Darmawan hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match.

The wind increased when Armand Purwanto made the kick off in the second half. Adjat Simangunsong recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Adjat Simangunsong had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 60th minute Armand Purwanto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nandang Abidin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Anak Agung Sopacua received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Ardha Sitepu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 68 minutes into the game, BTHON FC's Armand Purwanto nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Nandang Abidin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-1. An unexpected shot in the 72nd minute by Anak Agung Sopacua got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. In the 78th minute, Endang Darmawan ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nandang Abidin was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-1. Hendi Simbolon struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Nandang Abidin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BTHON FC. With a little luck, BTHON FC's Ardha Sitepu got control of the ball when Anak Agung Sopacua tried to sneak it across the goal line. BTHON FC's Ardha Sitepu proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 89th minute of the match, managed to save BTHON FC from getting a goal against them. After a defensive mix-up in BTHON FC's zone, Anak Agung Sopacua stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ardha Sitepu came out of the goal and Anak Agung Sopacua tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ardha Sitepu made an important save on a dangerous shot by Anak Agung Sopacua in the 92nd minute. HGPM FC's Nandang Abidin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Armand Purwanto in the 94th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adjat Simangunsong in the 96th minute of play forced HGPM FC's goalkeeper Nandang Abidin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 97th play minutes Armand Purwanto shot 5-1, a short shot which went by Nandang Abidin and just under the crossbar into goal. BTHON FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of HGPM FC for a fine match.
