Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 12 minutes into the match, and I. Pasaribu wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The referee showed Mandar's Z. Watori the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. I. Pasaribu was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Suburnazionale's B. Solihin had to come off the bench. After 31 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Suburnazionale's A. Muis being carried off the pitch and replaced by T. Zulnardy. After 35 minutes of play, R. Arnata equalised for Mandar after an elegant attack from the right. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Suburnazionale, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

Suburnazionale's W. Kawilarang was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 61 minutes. Suburnazionale took the lead after L. Kumar curved a free kick into the net. 1 - 2 S. Sibi of Suburnazionale took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 71 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 3. Suburnazionale had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Mandar's best player was I. Siagian. G. Tinambun on the other hand, had a terrible day. Suburnazionale's top performer was clearly E. Kertalegawa. A. Nurcholis was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
