Spectators: 7593 (Terracing: 5696, Seating: 1747, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Raka Budiarto took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a little luck, Black Dragon FC's Daeng Subarkah got control of the ball when Affan Maramis tried to sneak it across the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raka Budiarto in the 10th minute of play forced Black Dragon FC's goalkeeper Daeng Subarkah to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 10th play minute Ipey Lumbanraja came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Daeng Subarkah. 1-0. In the 14th minute Raka Budiarto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daeng Subarkah saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Pesameh booed when Black Dragon FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Stefan Bramantio didn't get a good kick on the ball. Raka Budiarto might have been able to make a better finish in the 20th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Daeng Subarkah. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Raka Budiarto ran back to his position shaking his head. After some careless play in the Black Dragon FC defense, Ipey Lumbanraja kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Daeng Subarkah. The Black Dragon FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Daeng Subarkah should have stopped the shot. After 25 minutes of play, Black Dragon FC's Zulfikar Eibe made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Anang Piliang was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 31 minutes, Tonton Sulistio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pesameh and the Black Dragon FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Tonton Sulistio kicked well hit freekick during the 31st minute of the match. The supporters of Pesameh booed when Black Dragon FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zulfikar Eibe didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 35th minute of the match Tonton Sulistio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Daeng Subarkah showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 39 minutes into the match, Black Dragon FC's goal looked a bit too open when Raka Budiarto came free, but Daeng Subarkah reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 40th minute by Affan Maramis got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Daeng Subarkah made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Raka Budiarto in the 46th minute of play. Raka Budiarto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Daeng Subarkah having to interfere.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Yanyan Nurapratama was the one to do the kick off. Daeng Subarkah made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Raka Budiarto in the 54th minute of play. In the 55th minute Raka Budiarto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daeng Subarkah saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 57 minutes of play Pesameh's Tonton Sulistio was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After a rather tough play, Pesameh's Tonton Sulistio got a free kick in the 58th minute. With a little luck, Pesameh's Anang Piliang got control of the ball when Steven Novitraldi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Daeng Subarkah took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ipey Lumbanraja, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 79th minute, Ipey Lumbanraja 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. Yanyan Nurapratama recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Yanyan Nurapratama had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 97 minutes into the match, Pesameh's Affan Maramis sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Daeng Subarkah narrowly saved just below the crossbar. There was no doubt that Pesameh were the better team. Pesameh's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
