Northen were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. 6 minutes into the game, Dani Spirig almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. The referee showed Grilled's Maikel Rotteveel the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled took the lead 18 minutes into the game, scoring the 0 - 1 goal after some elegant plays down the middle. Subri bin Ku Zainol was the scorer. Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Grilled goal after 19 minutes, making it 0 - 2. Fabian Bona was noted down as the scorer. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. After 24 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's Subri bin Ku Zainol got himself booked. The home crowd was not impressed when Ivaylo Mirchev came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 37 minutes. Grilled were now up 0 - 4. With 42 minutes played, Northen's Neo Yeng Kim fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Neo Yeng Kim for diving. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 77 percent of possession.

The visitors' Maikel Rotteveel took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and central backs 70 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Grilled. After 83 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Dani Spirig who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 6. The away team's Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 86 minutes which increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 7. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 81 percent of possession.

The most dominating Northen player was without a doubt Ömer Dirlik. However, Neo Yeng Kim made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Valdir Dias Paes. Nor Suhaimi bin Che Lah on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
