Pressing was the tactic of the day for Woofers. Good work by Woofers's defensive line produced a couple of good counterattack chances, one of which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found
David Østmo alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Halftime score was 0 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.
David Østmo had a good try after 53 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. 55 minutes in, Grilled's

Zé Albuquerque as he was unable to finish the game.
Dimitar Tomov came in to finish the match. 62 minutes into the game,
Diego Enero almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. The pressing tactics used by Woofers were successful at containing their opponents. Grilled created a good opportunity to score 71 minutes into the match when
Quah Han Kok's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 54 percent of possession.
Valdir Dias Paes performed admirably for Grilled.
