ather conditions were fairly good for football, and The Acidic City saw a crowd turnout of 64558. Otomar Drgáč was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sandro Antonietta and Sebastian Birkelund. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Chemistry. The following players had been chosen: Lantos - Dong Tse, Chang Chin, Kai-Xi - Caen-Khim, Niklasson, Kum-Leong, Haafkens - Ladzim, Železnik, El Boubakri.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Starters: Beckman - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Talib, Bona - Han Kok, MacKinnon, Paullin, Jie Siong, Spirig - Rotteveel.

Chemistry mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Grilled were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Sylweriusz Zywczyn gave the visitors the lead 2 minutes into the match to make it 0 - 1. The goal was scored from the penalty spot after a handball in the penalty area. After 5 minutes of play, Eric Niklasson evened things up for Chemistry with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 11 minutes allowed Maikel Rotteveel to score the 1 - 2 goal for Grilled. Chemistry evened the score out in the after 13 minutes after a brilliantly placed penalty by Martin Železnik. Halftime score was 2 - 2. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Heng Chang Chin gave Chemistry the lead with 3 - 2, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. Grilled's Lee Jie Siong placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but John MacKinnon couldn't finish. Grilled tied it all up, 71 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by Dani Spirig, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 3 - 3. After 80 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. Martin Železnik easily put the 4 - 3 goal away to give the lead to Chemistry. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Chemistry's Remo Haafkens a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 81 minutes into the game. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Chemistry's top performer was clearly Mohamed El Boubakri. Zou Kai-Xi turned in a dismal performance, however. Grilled's best player was Lorenz Paullin. However, Nawaz Talib made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 3.
