It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 3-4-3 formation while the visitors instead opted for 2-5-3. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, taking advantage of their divine (+10) (30) level with that tactic. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when Hwang Teck Fu was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 11 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 19 minutes allowed Lim An Keng to score for Grilled. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. After 21 minutes, frunzelax sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached Juan Carlos Eric, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 1. 22 minutes into the game, Brian 'Was Born' Reddy almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. frunzelax's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing Li Fu Ze to score easily from the right flank for 2 - 1. 2 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 56 percent of the ball.

Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. 58 minutes into the game Grilled's Chia Kwang Tse found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. Grilled's Hwang Teck Fu gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 63 minutes with a superb strike from the right. As the 69 minute mark approached, the frunzelax coach decided it was time for a substitution. Hélder Afonso Silva Novais reluctantly made way for Giovanni Guaiana on the pitch. Gandhik Chitre increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 2 - 4. Giovanni Guaiana charged down the left and looked sure to score for frunzelax 70 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. After 72 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Gandhik Chitre a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 2 - 5. 74 minutes into the game, frunzelax wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Adrian Ceparu gave Pili Keter a quick hug as he left the field. After 74 minutes, James Gill was massaging his right knee with a worried look on his face, but managed to get up in the end. 89 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a frunzelax substitution. Chua Seng Chang came on for Loh Jia Fu. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 2 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

James Gill performed admirably for frunzelax. Chua Seng Chang turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Grilled player was Mohd Marzuki Khairul. Dimitris Germanakos on the other hand, had a terrible day.
