Yudi Nurcahya was a FIFA licensed referee and led the second leg of the finals between Borneo Samarinda and Arema at Segiri Stadium, Samarinda. At the 33rd minute of the match, Arema player Gian Zola's head was struck by Borneo Samarinda player Agung Prasetyo's "kungfu kick" when Zola was about to head the ball in the air, potentially injuring Zola. Nurcahya gave no card to Prasetyo (despite such actions being punishable according to the FIFA Laws of the Game), instead giving it to Zola. Arema player Adam Alis was also given a yellow card by the referee relating to the call.^[12]
