Spectators: 10850 (Terracing: 8139, Seating: 2495, VIP seats: 216) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ayi Kusumah kicked off to start the match. With a little luck, BuanaRaya's Cătălin Ostoici got control of the ball when David Trezeguet tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ayi Kusumah struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Tạ I didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BuanaRaya. The audience was convinced that Ayi Kusumah's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tạ I was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind Begu Ganjang's goalkeeper Tạ I, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Cătălin Ostoici made an important save on a dangerous shot by David Trezeguet in the 15th minute. 16 minutes into the game, Ayi Kusumah cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Tạ I was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Pepijn Hummel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Tạ I tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 21st minute, David Trezeguet reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Cătălin Ostoici. The goal made the score 1-1. After 26 played minutes BuanaRaya got a freekick which was hit by Dorukhan Turalp. Pepijn Hummel might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tạ I. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Pepijn Hummel ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind BuanaRaya's goalkeeper Cătălin Ostoici, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 43rd minute Washington Arantes shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tạ I saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Begu Ganjang's Tạ I played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Washington Arantes in the 53rd minute of play. Tạ I took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pepijn Hummel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 57 minutes had been played when some careless play by Begu Ganjang's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Meng Quan Han was slow to take the kick. During this time BuanaRaya's players had a chance to rest. BuanaRaya's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Meng Quan Han in the 59th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Washington Arantes in the 60th minute of play forced Begu Ganjang's goalkeeper Tạ I to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Begu Ganjang's Fotis Perivolakos was substituted for Otto Kartasasmita. The supporters of BuanaRaya booed when Begu Ganjang was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 73 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ponaryo Mangindaan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pepijn Hummel received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Tạ I came out and tried to block the shot, but Pepijn Hummel slotted it home off the left post making it 1-2 in the 74th minute.
