- Dharmadji, Lubis, Dian, Kristiawan - Gani, Rungkat, Kusnan, Pane -
Sahdan, Malaiholo.

Slack defending gave president`s a chance to take the lead in the 3:th
minute, but Dror Peleg's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front
of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. After 20 minutes,
Pasar put themselves up by 0 - 1, as Irwan Malaiholo finished off a
strike from the left with a real cannon placed at the far post. 0 - 1
was the halftime score. Pasar held the ball, with a clear 59 percent of
possession.

president`s tried to even things up by sending a long play towards the
centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of
this rather direct style of play. In the 58:th minute, Pasar worked the
left side industriously, creating several opportunities to add to
Pasar's lead, but somehow didn't achieve closure. Pasar came close to
extending their lead as Irwan Malaiholo delivered a long range shot from
the right but the angle was too sharp, and the shot hit the side of the
goal. Always a threat, Zabidi bin Mohd Esahar tore past his marker and
placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting Lucky Erol who should
have easily scored for president`s, but the ball went wide. Reagan Gani
increased Pasar's lead to 0 - 2 with a superb free kick strike that flew
in just under the far top corner. After this, Pasar lowered the tempo in
order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. Pasar claimed to be the
more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them -
possession being 73 percent.

president`s's top performer was clearly Marshal Melayu. However, Najih
Rafiudin made a disastrous appearance. Reagan Gani performed admirably
for Pasar. However, Novaldy Rungkat made a disastrous appearance. The
match ends 0 - 2.
