Chelsea was apparently too tough for the Indonesian as it scored four goals in the first half and scored four more goals in the second half.
The only goal for Indonesian team was a Chelsea's own goal (OG) following a fierce attack conducted by Indonesian naturalized player Greg Nwokolo in the second half.
The acclaimed coach Jose Maurinho, who had just hired back by Chelsea after his long-time service with Spanish premier club Real Madrid, deployed prominent players including John Terry, Michael Essien, Demba Ba, Romelu Lukaku and Edin Hazard in the match that televised nationwide.
Chelsea's visit in Indonesia was part of its pre-season Asian tour conducted prior to the commencement of English football league.
