Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Virgiawan Soeprapto took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 4thth minute of the game Santana Centeñes who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Begu Ganjang's Buyung Tendean was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 5th minute, Oon Sutisna hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Santana Centeñes in the 6th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Buyung Tendean saved Begu Ganjang from getting behind. 12 minutes into the match, Res Non Verba's goal looked a bit too open when Sebastian Masengi came free, but Rai Pedros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Virgiawan Soeprapto managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Rai Pedros breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. A collision led to Res Non Verba getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Vicente Gabiña hit a great ball. In the 21st minute of the match Res Non Verba got a corner. Begu Ganjang's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Porfiro Marichalar ran over to the corner to take the kick. Porfiro Marichalar made a great header on Res Non Verba's corner, it was just that Begu Ganjang's Buyung Tendean managed to reach the ball for a save. Sebastian Masengi's late challenge caught a Res Non Verba's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

The referee ignored Begu Ganjang's protests and gave Dodi Hermansyah a yellow card for diving instead. In the 30th minute, Dodi Hermansyah hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Virgiawan Soeprapto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Abas Arkananta was extremely unlucky when he, in the 46th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Rai Pedros didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Begu Ganjang. When Wendy Widura came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the Begu Ganjang 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 Wendy Widura couldn't finish the play. Santana Centeñes who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 67thth minute tested the skills of Buyung Tendean when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 71 minutes into the match, Begu Ganjang's goal looked a bit too open when Rioja Cortinez came free, but Buyung Tendean reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The attack was good, but when Rioja Cortinez in the 93rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 96th minute Sebastian Masengi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rai Pedros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Begu Ganjang walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
