72673 punters turned up at Love Street Stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Samson Mwapachu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cătălin Temeş and Andrew Davies. The match took place on neutral ground. Grilled's starters: Germanakos - Hutter, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Chitre, Keng Chuan, Teck Fu, Parada - Kwang Tse, Ming Xin, Khairul.

Haha's lineup was: Fujiwara - Min Tse, Ming Chuan, Debrincat - Toufighi, Wawer, Ming Hock, Nedal, Christiansson - Bernhardsson, Sáenz.

Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas Haha lined up in a 3-5-2 formation. 1 minutes into the match, the Haha manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. See how Kok Min Tse has had to abandon his regular position to follow Mohd Marzuki Khairul around? That leaves a big gap for his mates to cover! Haha's Klas Bernhardsson managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 15 minutes. 0 - 1. A drive down the left side allowed Adham Nedal to get in close and score another goal for Haha after 17 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. Luis Ricardo Sáenz came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over Dimitris Germanakos but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Chia Kwang Tse tried lifting the ball over keeper Percy Fujiwara. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Haha had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

After 46 minutes of the match, the manager still hoped to turn things around. Chia Kwang Tse was ordered to assume a different position on the pitch. He took the place of Hwang Teck Fu, who in turn replaced his team mate. After 60 minutes, the Haha coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Luis Ricardo Sáenz off the field. Danial bin Nali took his place. The home crowd cheered when, after 60 minutes, Ali Morad Toufighi's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Haha's Ooi Ming Chuan was shown a yellow card after 62 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 70 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Danial bin Nali of Haha to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. 72 minutes into the match, Haha could have gone up another goal, but Konrad Wawer's penalty kick missed the goal by a mile. The home crowd was not impressed when Klas Bernhardsson came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 77 minutes. Haha were now up 0 - 4. Phua Ming Xin challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 79 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. The bench was restless, and with 89 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave Chan Ze Han the opportunity the player had been hoping for. Phua Ming Xin reluctantly left the field. Maybe due to the uphill battle the team was facing, the Grilled manager looked to change things around. After 89 minutes, Gandhik Chitre and Mohd Marzuki Khairul swapped positions on the field. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 0 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Haha, with 60 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Chia Kwang Tse. Mohd Marzuki Khairul on the other hand, had a terrible day. Haha's top performer was clearly Danial bin Nali. On the other hand, Kok Min Tse's play was disheartening.
