Ivaylo Mirchev. After 15 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
Maikel Rotteveel to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. Matrix101's
Peng San Gui got himself booked for a foul.

Lan Tuan-Mu to get in close and score a goal after 24 minutes, leading to 0 - 3. After 35 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
å° (Feng) è¾¾è£ (Darong) to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 54 percent of possession.
A thrilling play through the middle 52 minutes into the match gave Grilled's
Maikel Rotteveel a chance to increase the lead, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. Confident in their lead, Grilled decided to play a more defensive game at this point. The referee showed Grilled's
Weng Seng-Huat the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
Wira bin Abu was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Matrix101's
Chua Kian Feng had to come off the bench. The visitors added to their lead 72 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Grilled's
Ivaylo Mirchev slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 6. 73 minutes in, Matrix101's
Mohamed Rafeek bin Rahman received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for Grilled,
Ivaylo Mirchev was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field.
Phua Siong An replaced him.
Subri bin Ku Zainol increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 7.
Ahmad Tharmini bin Selamat behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 82 minutes as he gave the ball away to
Chua Kian Feng. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Matrix101, with an impressive 51 percent possession of the ball.
Matrix101's top performer was clearly
Lai Ying Yeng.
Peng San Gui on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Grilled player was
Subri bin Ku Zainol.
Lan Tuan-Mu turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
