30- 7-54 Teladan Stadion, Medan Army/Police XI 1-5 Grazer AK [HT: 0-2]
NB: the first PSSI selection ("Muda") was a youth side; the second selection was
based on the team that had visited Hongkong (as well as Manila and Bangkok) in
the spring of 1953 but with some replacements; they were quite different from
each other and neither was considered the full international side, though the
team playing on 22 July may have come close.
Persibaja were the reigning champions of Indonesia (winners in 1951 and 1952;
Persidja would succeed them in December 1954), while PSMS corresponded closely
to the Sumatera Utara team which had won the 1953 Pekan Olahraga Nasional.
The Army/Police selection playing the last match in Medan was officially known
as Angkatan Bersendjata Republik Indonesia.
