The final score reflected a match of few clear-cut chances where both teams had to settle for a share of the points. Persela Lamongan took a surprise lead against the run of play in the first half, finishing a swift counter-attack. PSS Sleman, pushing for an equalizer, dominated possession and finally broke through with a headed goal from a corner in the 65th minute. Despite late pressure from the home side, the Persela defense held firm to secure a valuable away point.
