Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Edelmiro Hartz took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Rossobianco booed when Bandung Tigers was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rama Pravita didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 5th minute, Prudencio Charro 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. During the 7th minute of the match Rama Pravita completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Rama Pravita a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. 6 minutes into the game, one of Bandung Tigers:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. After 12 minutes, Gualterio Rafel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Rossobianco and the Bandung Tigers players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 12 played minutes Rossobianco got a freekick which was hit by Gualterio Rafel. 14 minutes into the match, Bandung Tigers's Kabul Muttaqien sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ubaldo Cordeal narrowly saved just below the crossbar. M. Ikhsan Situmorang kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. Ubaldo Cordeal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Toni Saroge, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. In the 21st minute, one of Bandung Tigers:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Bandung Tigers. Ubaldo Cordeal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Toni Saroge, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Rafael Eudoxio in the 31st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Herman Winar saved Bandung Tigers from getting behind. Atang Rumbewas's late challenge caught a Rossobianco's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Atang Rumbewas helped the player get up and apologised. Atang Rumbewas kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. Legimin Murtopo hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Toni Saroge made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Bandung Tigers's Legimin Murtopo got a free kick in the 52nd minute. M. Ikhsan Situmorang hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match.

The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Bandung Tigers. After a rather tough play, Rossobianco's Rafael Eudoxio got a free kick in the 58th minute. Bandung Tigers's Herman Winar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edelmiro Hartz in the 61st minute of play. In the 76th minute Edelmiro Hartz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Herman Winar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 83rd minute of the match, Edelmiro Hartz tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Herman Winar saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. The crowd rose to their feet as Rossobianco's Edelmiro Hartz slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Herman Winar. That made the score 0-2 after 85 minutes of play. The Rossobianco players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
