irly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 9278 to AstroArena. Rotem Tsuriel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Arto Nurmisto and Maurizio Joga. Texans started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Ciepielak - Dordoni, Mlotek, Lewicki - Soboczyński, Slupik, Al-Hossein, Rask, Korotkaia - Gavrilã, Guynot.

Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Harlow - Pakpao, Tuan-Mu, Seng-Huat - Dai-Lin, Siu-Yue, Paullin, Rottman, Kolesov - Hjortlind, Fernández Riviera.

Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Jakub Soboczyński gave Texans the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. The visiting team's Antonio Fernández Riviera was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 20 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. Grilled took the lead by 1 to 2 after Antonio Fernández Riviera curved a free kick into the net. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Texans's Marinel Gavrilã got himself booked. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Texans, with an impressive 60 percent possession of the ball.

Hossein Al-Hossein made a superb strike after 50 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Jakub Soboczyński pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 64 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 2 - 2 equaliser away. Texans took the lead 72 minutes into the game by 3 to 2, as Marinel Gavrilã elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. After 73 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Albert Guynot might have resulted in another goal for Texans. However, Clair Harlow made a spectacular save. Texans held the ball, with a clear 66 percent of possession.

Most important Texans player was Jørn Rask. Jakub Soboczyński on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Au-Yong Siu-Yue. Antonio Fernández Riviera was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
