Marsiling's
Oh Kuan Hui received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. At the 16 minute mark, it looked like the opportunity for
Grilled to score had been missed until
Chad Thach suddenly worked his way clear and fired off a spectacular shot. The keeper had no chance! 0 - 3.
Raúl Himadas received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 20 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The
Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The visitors almost increased their lead after 21 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar.
Low Chuan Heng twisted his arm after 22 minutes, forcing
Marsiling to make a substitution.

Grilled, with 61 percent of the ball.
59 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as
Mohd Marzuki Khairul finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 61 minutes,
Radomil Marcol suffered a slight injury to his left calf muscle. However, it was not enough to stop him from continuing the game. Content with how the game was proceeding, the
Grilled coach let
Damian Hutter replace
Darko 'Donnie' Andrović after 89 minutes. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 3 minutes beyond the regular 90 minutes. 90 minutes into the game a free kick by
Raúl Himadas found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making
Grilled's lead 0 - 6. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for
