ather conditions were fairly good for football, and The Cooking Pot saw a crowd turnout of 70000. Rene Büttiker was the appointed referee with assistance provided by José Tadié and Mārtiņš Cielēns. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Bao-Tam - Rottman, Tuan-Mu, Dewilde - Siu-Yue, Tellskär, Noor Yadah, Kek-Tjiang, Stanton - Hjortlind, Kearney.

Punishers started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Sai - Dang, Bengtsson, Persson, Vasilic - Kam-Kee, Vlãdoiu, Rundwald - Wei-Cheon, Xiao-Shuang, Hsiao-Chiang.

Punishers clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Xu Kam-Kee stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Punishers the goal to make it 0 - 1. It was a fine day for Au-Yong Siu-Yue on his wing, his cross pass to Asher Stanton was especially delicate 16 minutes into the game, but the keeper saved. Grilled's Jon Andrea Rottman put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored the 1 - 1 goal with 20 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. The referee showed Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After a fine move down the middle Wilson Kearney nearly gave the home side a goal after 25 minutes. The finishing shot went just wide, though. Punishers's Xu Kam-Kee got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 72 percent of possession.

Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind finished emphatically to make the score 2-1 after 53 minutes, after the enigmatic Asher Stanton pulled a delightful long pass from his box of tricks to bypass the defence. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 71 percent of possession.

Grilled's best player was Daniel Tellskär. Au-Yong Siu-Yue was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Punishers player was without a doubt Rolf Persson. Xu Kam-Kee was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
