The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 52249 had shown up at Soluna Community for the match. Heribert Grois was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peeter Kahar and Ronny Andresen. Soluna started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Wadehängen - Merkus, Piccardo, Frohner - Girelli, Yusgiantoro, Kemal, Panjaitan, Arnalich Fernández - Proprentner, Mansyur.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for UNITED. The following players took the field: Huaynate - Stridell, Sánchez-Bedoya, Reichlin-Meldegg - Cadenas, Deloffre, Hoonhout, Rainer, Ignat - Siahaan, Saelan.

Soluna used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. UNITED's N. Saelan refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 17 minutes. Z. Siahaan's experience almost gave UNITED a goal after 23 minutes but the keeper made a great save. 32 minutes into the game, F. Girelli had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came K. Laksono. Soluna players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Making his way up the middle 38 minutes into the match, L. Mansyur almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert G. Huaynate blocked it to keep the score level. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 41 minutes allowed Z. Siahaan to score for UNITED. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Soluna put pressure on the visitors' central defence 43 minutes into the game, but M. Proprentner couldn't find an opening. Halftime score was 0 - 1. UNITED claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

58 minutes into the game, M. Proprentner came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. Soluna had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Soluna's top performer was clearly R. Panjaitan. On the other hand, E. Piccardo's play was disheartening. UNITED's best player was M. Sánchez-Bedoya. However, I. Ignat made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
