Qing Chem-Tov knocked the ball to the limit of

Maikel Rotteveel gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Shingens got a chance to level the score as

Shingens pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. With 76 minutes played, the visitors could have scored the tying goal after
Qing Chem-Tov came through the middle, but his kick went wide. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 68 percent of possession.

Sylweriusz Zywczyn made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Shingens player was without a doubt
Chua Puay Ming.
