scorching day at The Cooking Pot, where 58750 spectators were in place for today's match. Ignacio Arretxe was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thom van der Werff and Matthieu Laporte. Grilled decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Dias Paes - 辉洪 (Huihong) , Árva, Talib, bin Othman - Penati, Branbilla, Han Kok, 达荣 (Darong) - Rotteveel, bin Ku Zainol.

Athletic tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Sun Tae - Marante, Eltschinger, bin Shariff - Ollagnier, Shi Yeow, Starodubov, Ying Eng, WiÄ…cek - van Hooijdonck, Chazanas.

Grilled were relying on their ability to counter-attack. 16 minutes into the game, Sytse van Hooijdonck almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 0 - 1 was the score with 39 minutes played, after Athletic's Sytse van Hooijdonck cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. After 40 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Sytse van Hooijdonck to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. After 43 minutes of game time, Sytse van Hooijdonck had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but Valdir Dias Paes was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner. With 43 minutes played, Athletic put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was Tautgirdas Chazanas. After this, Athletic lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Athletic enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

Tautgirdas Chazanas's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some amazing plays that fooled the defence. The referee showed Athletic's Liu Shi Yeow the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A drive on the left side allowed Athletic's Sytse van Hooijdonck to get in close and score a goal after 67 minutes, leading to 0 - 4. This third goal made a hat trick for Sytse van Hooijdonck. A penalty kick was awarded to Grilled 78 minutes into the match, and Maikel Rotteveel expertly put it away. 1 - 4. This half belonged to Athletic, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Grilled's top performer was clearly Subri bin Ku Zainol. On the other hand, 胡 (Hu) 辉洪 (Huihong) 's play was disheartening. The most dominating Athletic player was without a doubt Tautgirdas Chazanas. Irek Wiącek on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
