In this tightly contested Championship match between Persipal Palu and Persiba Balikpapan, both teams demonstrated comparable strengths, culminating in a 1-1 draw. Persipal Palu took an early lead with a goal at 29 minutes into the first half. This lead was maintained due to their strategic play, characterized by maintaining adequate ball possession and effective defense, which ultimately led to limited goal-scoring opportunities for the opposition initially.

Persiba Balikpapan managed to equalize in the second half at around the 31-minute mark through persistent offensive efforts. Statistically, they had a slightly higher number of corner kicks (5) compared to their opponents (4), indicating their grown pressure on Persipal's defense. Despite incurring 13 fouls and receiving a yellow card in the latter stages of the match, their controlled aggression allowed them to disrupt the home team’s rhythm enough to find their equalizer.

Team discipline was evident for Persipal Palu, reflected in their lower foul count (11) and no yellow cards. Both teams avoided red cards, indicating a focus on maintaining numerical parity. Offside figures were another telling aspect, with Persipal's three offsides suggesting a more aggressive forward line, although it occasionally backfired.
