It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 60478 that came out to Aljunied Bridge. Royston Romani was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Antonios Fanariotis and Giancarlo Mangiacristiani. For some players the sunny weather was bad news. It made Powerful and Quick players a bit sluggish. For Technical players, it was instead an advantage, allowing them to shine on the pitch. The following players had been chosen by Joker: Schimmelpfennig - Cildermanis, Franco, Maceiras - Schumpbach, Yi Da, Satishchandra, Singh, Rehn - Jian Jian, Fu Yew.

Grilled fielded: Germanakos - Kang Leong, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Teck Fu, Keng Chuan, Kwang Tse, Trindade - Khairul, Chitre, An Keng.

Joker 9 started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Joker showed off their supernatural (14) creative tactics. An accurate cross from Mario Schumpbach of Joker was met with a wonderful glancing header from Hans-Ulrich Rehn, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 1 - 0. The visiting team's Lim An Keng was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 18 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. Paulino Trindade managed to make an excellent pass from the wing, but Brian 'Was Born' Reddy was not as skillful and couldn't finish it off. Joker's Chan 'Jayjay' Jian Jian tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 38 minutes allowed Lim An Keng to score for Grilled. The scoreboard now read 1 - 2. 39 minutes into the game, Grilled worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Mario Schumpbach stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Joker the goal to make it 2 - 2. 2 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 52 percent of the ball.

After 52 minutes, Hans-Ulrich Rehn came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 3 - 2, giving Joker the lead. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Mohd Marzuki Khairul from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 61 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Jens-Harald Schimmelpfennig went down after twisting his left ankle after 62 minutes, and had to leave the pitch. The replacement for the injured player was Chong Yao Feng. Joker increased the lead as Tay 'Lucky' Fu Yew struck to make the score 4 - 2 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Tay 'Lucky' Fu Yew increased the lead for Joker to 5 - 2, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Joker's Hans-Ulrich Rehn was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - Ang Yi Da managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 6 - 2 after 84 minutes. Grilled managed to reduce the score to 6 - 3 as Paulino Trindade finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. After 88 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Hong Kang Leong off the field. Damian Hutter took his place. As Hong Kang Leong exited the field, Aw Keng Chuan volunteered to be the new set pieces taker. Gandhik Chitre would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Chan Ze Han entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 88 minutes. 89 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Paulino Trindade gave 冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) a quick hug as he left the field. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 4 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 6 - 3. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The most dominating Joker player was without a doubt Mario Schumpbach. Chong Yao Feng turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Grilled player was Mohd Marzuki Khairul. However, 冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) made a disastrous appearance.
