Singapore were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Making his way up the middle 2 minutes into the match, Dani Spirig almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert Li Heng Meng blocked it to keep the score level. Singapore almost scored after a counterattack 3 minutes into the match, but Vaios Rodostoglou took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The crowd groaned its disapproval when Sylweriusz Zywczyn missed a free kick that would have given Grilled the lead after 11 minutes. Sylweriusz Zywczyn enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 26 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from Sandy Edmond, who, unaided, came in from the right wing hooking the ball over the visitors' keeper. Singapore's Loh Quang-Nhut got himself booked for a foul. Unfortunately for Grilled, Lorenz Paullin was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. Ciro Penati replaced him. 31 minutes into the match Sylweriusz Zywczyn put Grilled ahead 2 - 0 with a truly marvelous free kick. Grilled added another goal to their lead as Han Lik-Tsun struck home the 3 - 0 goal after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. At this point in the game, defending their lead became the main priority for Grilled. It was 3 - 0 at the break. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Grilled's Subri bin Ku Zainol was delighted to score the 4 - 0 goal after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing after 55 minutes. With 58 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Maikel Rotteveel, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's Sylweriusz Zywczyn putting the lead up to 6 - 0. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs Maikel Rotteveel found it hard to get back into position. With 85 minutes played, Grilled's Dani Spirig tried to nail the coffin shut, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. Singapore showed their counterattack skill 86 minutes into the match, with Lim Kiong Kiong scoring uncontested for 6 - 1. The referee showed Grilled's Dani Spirig the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled's Nawaz Talib was delighted to score the 7 - 1 goal after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing after 88 minutes. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 70 percent of possession.

Quah Han Kok performed admirably for Grilled. Ciro Penati on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Singapore player was without a doubt Syamsul bin Md Johadi. On the other hand, Li Heng Meng's play was disheartening. The match ends 7 - 1.
