A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 70729 to The Cooking Pot. Alejandro Esteban Ruiz Díaz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Teodor Purucker and Ben Bossut. The intense heat made it hard for players relying on strength or speed to shine. On the other hand, it provided perfect conditions for the more technical players. Grilled's starters: Germanakos - Himadas, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Teck Fu, Keng Chuan, Khairul, Trindade - Thach, Chitre, An Keng.

The following players took the field for Ambush: Taqiuddin - Su Yi, De Wai, Pham - Wei Yi, Jin, Kok Hui, El Omda, Abdul Hakim - Tai, Qiang Ze.

Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas Ambush F.C. lined up in a 3-5-2 formation. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle, taking advantage of their divine (+7) level with that tactic. Ambush used their brilliant skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Grilled made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Gandhik Chitre completely alone with keeper Tajuddin Ridwan Taqiuddin, who made a spectacular block. Ambush's Li Su Yi could have put the guests one up after 7 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but Dimitris Germanakos was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. Ambush's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Ambush pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. Some great play up the middle by Grilled led to a chance for Paulino Trindade to score after 34 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Ambush's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

The pressing tactics used by Ambush were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. 75 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Mohd Marzuki Khairul gave Chia Kwang Tse a quick hug as he left the field. Ambush took the lead 75 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Li Su Yi was the scorer. There was a promising attack by Grilled after 78 minutes, but it was ultimately closed down by the powerful presence of Kee Kok Hui. Chad Thach was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Grilled with a strike from the left, but Tajuddin Ridwan Taqiuddin managed to ward the shot off for a corner. Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan left the field after 80 minutes having twisted his hand in a collision, causing a slight injury. The player that took his place was Damian Hutter. Lim An Keng made a superb strike after 82 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After 83 minutes, Lim An Keng made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. It was announced by the referee that he estimated stoppage time to be around 1 minute. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 1 - 1. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

Grilled's best player was Lim An Keng. Ambush's top performer was clearly Li Su Yi.
