ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Glory Hoggers Arena saw a crowd turnout of 7000. Franz-Bernd Grönland was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wayne Roovers and Joachim Siekaniec. Hoggers started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. They fielded: bin Abu Bakar - Tzs-Lun, Lingdong, Lung, Taneja - Hei-ar, Chee-Choong, Houlihan, Duy-Thanh - Hsi-Men, Payne.

Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Öhmo - Pakpao, Tuan-Mu, Alcántara - Magnusson, Siu-Yue, Noor Yadah, Rottman, Kolesov - Hjortlind, Martinsson.

The referee showed Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 8 minutes Hoggers's Jordan Houlihan contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. With 8 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. Jon Andrea Rottman put the ball away for 0 - 1. As Peter Magnusson had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Grilled player a red card without batting an eyelid. Nui Pakpao was, after 30 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but home side's keeper Khairil bin Abu Bakar made the save. Man, what a shot by Hoggers's Jordan Houlihan! Firing in from 35 yards after 30 minutes, that is probably going to be one of the finest, most beautiful, wonderfully crafted strikes the crowd here today are ever likely to see. 1 - 1. Grilled took the lead 32 minutes into the game, scoring the 1 - 2 goal after some elegant plays down the middle. Ulf Hjortlind was the scorer. Ola Martinsson increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 3 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 3. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 78 percent of possession.

Ola Martinsson increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 4 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. 54 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 5 as Milen Kolesov finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The game had been on for 55 minutes when Jon Andrea Rottman broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 1 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. The game had been on for 62 minutes when Jon Andrea Rottman broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 1 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay. By then Jon Andrea Rottman was a three time scorer - a hat trick! Grilled held the ball, with a clear 91 percent of possession.

Hoggers's best player was Khairil bin Abu Bakar. Tajana Taneja was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Aznan Noor Yadah. Nui Pakpao on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 7.
