Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Salah El Aska got the match started through his kick off. Wasil El Makhtoub made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jufri Mamahit in the 4th minute of play. After 13 minutes, Wahyu Papara made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Líbano's Wasil El Makhtoub tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 16th minute, Líbano's Salim Haddad seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Salim Haddad the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Líbano protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Salim Haddad had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in Líbano fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 15th minute. Penalty! Jufri Mamahit walked up to take care of the penalty kick. He was aiming for the top corner, but the ball went just outside the post. 26 minutes into the match, Líbano's goal looked a bit too open when Jufri Mamahit came free, but Wasil El Makhtoub reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 28th minute Bestone 716 - Jakarta were awarded a corner. Igus Lisandri went to the cornerflag to take it. After taking down the ball on Bestone 716 - Jakarta's corner Igus Lisandri fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Wasil El Makhtoub quite easily take care of the ball. Líbano's Wasil El Makhtoub played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Igus Lisandri in the 30th minute of play. After some careless play in the Líbano defense, Igus Lisandri kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Wasil El Makhtoub. The Líbano fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Wasil El Makhtoub should have stopped the shot. Dono Tanzier made an important save on a dangerous shot by Salah El Aska in the 34th minute. Waddah Dajaj kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. The supporters of Líbano booed when Bestone 716 - Jakarta was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jufri Mamahit didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, Líbano's Nour Jabbar got a free kick in the 45th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jufri Mamahit to make the kick off. Darius Syamsuddn who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 54thth minute tested the skills of Wasil El Makhtoub when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Wassim Suoud charged in rather forcefully in the 56th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Wassim Suoud the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 64th minute, Ibrahim Nadal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nour Jabbar struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Dono Tanzier didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Líbano. With his leg Wasil El Makhtoub managed to avoid a goal in the 69thth minute, when Bestone 716 - Jakarta's Darius Syamsuddn fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 76 played minutes Líbano got a freekick which was hit by Emin Altair. In the 77th minute of the match Igus Lisandri shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Wasil El Makhtoub showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ibrahim Nadal in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dono Tanzier saved Bestone 716 - Jakarta from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Darius Syamsuddn in the 82nd minute of play forced Líbano's goalkeeper Wasil El Makhtoub to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 83rd minute, Waddah Dajaj hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Bestone 716 - Jakarta's zone, Salah El Aska stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dono Tanzier came out of the goal and Salah El Aska tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Bestone 716 - Jakarta's Jufri Mamahit got a good chance for a goal in the 91st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 94 minutes into the match, Wahyu Papara had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Wasil El Makhtoub. Líbano's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Wahyu Papara was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3.
