Spectators: 8439 (Terracing: 6330, Seating: 1941, VIP seats: 168) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Prabu Hasudungan kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Putra Ponrang's goal looked a bit too open when Richard Bramantio came free, but Joni Rangkuti reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Alsaki FC booed when Putra Ponrang was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Parlin Hutagaol didn't get a good kick on the ball. Genta Kuswanto hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. Alsaki FC's Wahidin Tarumanagara played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Prabu Hasudungan in the 27th minute of play. In the 28th minute of the match, Jamal Pangaribuan got a very nice opportunity to score, but Wahidin Tarumanagara was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. When Arsyad Yudhistira fell near the penalty area in the 29th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Alsaki FC's protests and gave Arsyad Yudhistira a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Prabu Hasudungan in the 31st minute of play forced Alsaki FC's goalkeeper Wahidin Tarumanagara to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Alsaki FC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 34th minute, when Jamal Pangaribuan scored to the left of an out of position Wahidin Tarumanagara, making the score, 1-1.

After 45 played minutes Alsaki FC got a freekick which was hit by Salim Sujatmiko. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Richard Bramantio stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Jamal Pangaribuan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Joni Rangkuti was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 59th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Asmadi Azad. If Nurul Sulaksana had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Everyone was convinced a goal was close when Alsaki FC's Richard Bramantio in the 72nd minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Joni Rangkuti was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Putra Ponrang through an amazing save. Nurul Sulaksana might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Joni Rangkuti. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nurul Sulaksana ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 80th minute, Ijul Subagio got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Nurul Sulaksana fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joni Rangkuti having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Putra Ponrang's zone, Nurul Sulaksana stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joni Rangkuti came out of the goal and Nurul Sulaksana tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Richard Bramantio in the 86th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Joni Rangkuti prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 96th minute, Nurul Sulaksana got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.
