U21 Ireland's Philip Walker played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zulkifli Tobing in the 7th minute of play. In the 11th minute, U21 Indonesia's Benny Pangkali seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Benny Pangkali the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of U21 Indonesia protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Benny Pangkali had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After having played for 13 minutes, Barram McIan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. U21 Ireland's supporters crossed their fingers, but Barram McIan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Artuir Quinnless sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Wahyu Hutauruk took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Artuir Quinnless, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 19th minute the ball was on its way in behind U21 Ireland's goalkeeper Philip Walker, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
