The pressing tactics used by Grilled were successful at containing their opponents. Barthélémy Boulant gave Herron supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0 after 27 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Grilled's Shen Kek-Tjiang got himself booked for a foul. After 33 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Nie Yong-chul might have resulted in another goal for Herron. However, Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman made a spectacular save. Richard Ashton seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in the 3-0 goal for Herron after a corner kick that was nicely executed by Chen Haupai. At this point in the game, defending their lead became the main priority for Herron. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Herron enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

The forty-five minutes were dominated by Herron, with an impressive 69 percent possession of the ball.
