208 fans braved the pouring rain at Sanzo Arena. Guillermo Lago was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Achille Haebler and Norman Derschatta. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for akodo. The following players had been chosen: Deng-Geng - Sushanta, Chang Hao, Shiu ling - Seng Jing, 力洲 (Lizhou) , 宝德 (Baode) , Da Boon - Liang How, Jie Lai, 偌盛 (Ruosheng).

Grilled decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Dias Paes - Árva, Lik-Tsun, Talib - Penati, Branbilla, MacKinnon, Han Kok, 达荣 (Darong) - Rotteveel, bin Yaacob.

They were singing the praises of 蔡 (Cai) 偌盛 (Ruosheng) 14 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from just outside the centre part of the opponent's penalty area found its way over the visitors keeper to make the score 1 - 0 for akodo. There wasn't much opportunity for rapid movements on this wet day, which hindered Matthias Branbilla in particular. The home team will be cursing Maikel Rotteveel for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem, tying the score at 1 - 1 after 29 minutes. Grilled's Matthias Branbilla refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 32 minutes. Kwok Jie Lai had a difficult time on the field; the muddy surface was clearly affecting his technique. Grilled's 封 (Feng) 达荣 (Darong) gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 38 minutes with a superb strike from the right. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by akodo, with an impressive 59 percent possession of the ball.

With a shot floated in from just outside the penalty area after 50 minutes played, Li Seng Jing of akodo evened the score to 2 - 2. Grilled's Zoltán Árva managed to lose the defenders as he came down the right side and scored, putting the visitors ahead, 2 - 3. 83 minutes in, akodo's Yuan Shiu ling received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Grilled's 范 (Fan) 川城 (Chuancheng) had to come off the bench. Tan Ping Wee was called on to replace akodo's Li Seng Jing after 86 minutes following a nasty collision. Against a lesser team, Grilled could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick combination after 89 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. akodo put pressure on the visitors' central defence 89 minutes into the game, but Soon Liang How couldn't find an opening. akodo held the ball, with a clear 61 percent of possession.

The most dominating akodo player was without a doubt 阮 (Ruan) 力洲 (Lizhou) . Tan Ping Wee was a disappointment, however. Valdir Dias Paes performed admirably for Grilled. 范 (Fan) 川城 (Chuancheng) on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 3.
