The match only kicked off in the evening at the club's training ground. LPP first team coach was appointed to lead the charge. he started the game with his young talents mainly from the Juvenille A team. Game started off with high intensity football. LPP made a quick impact scoring 3 goals in 10 minutes period. as the game goes, NLDC catched up with the tempo and slowly got into the game. After half hour mark, the scoreline gone level, suggesting there is still a lot to learn especially in keeping possession to slow the opponents. the coach opt to make the first substitute, bringing in his midfield maestro to calm things down. the game changed phase and LPP managed to pull one up. half time, scored 4-3 to LPP. 
The second half was kicked off with a totally different LPP team. The opposition too chose to bring their usual first team into the pitch and the thing was, this would surely ended up as a completely different match now. LPP looked very different when they had the ball in possession. long lay off had taken the toll on the players. That should be not be the matter, at least at this stage, knowing the match was purposely meant to get the players legs together again before they get into the new season.
The coach later swap Shuib Sibijak Alonso so he could anchor the team from their defensive half, to gain more control. having been doing as exactly asked by the coach, he would then be able distribute the ball to the wide players. the change was proven to be fruitful as LPP scored 2 more goals from a quick move from the wide side. at the last quarter an hour, a series of subtitutions were called again as the coach tried to experiment with different style of play. The main focus is now on Rizal Ghaddar after his long awaited comeback from ankle injury. Just before the final whistle, LPP managed to grab another fine goal from the player who had just been on the pitch in less than 5 minutes. this guy was out to prove that he is still the man for the scoring jobs. Final whistle 7-5.
