ouds darkened the skies at chinese high Arena as 7000 spectators turned up for the match. Arne Hanrath was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thorsten Wildman and Gerhard Hofmeister. chinese started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Yuk lung - Marshall, bin Mohamed, bin Shaari, Ji Wook - Yue Jiu, Soon Hin, Kar Wai, How Ho - Chuan Yong, Kong Li.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Dias Paes - Branbilla, Seng-Huat, Talib, bin Selamat - 剑勇 (Jianyong) , Mirchev, MacKinnon, 川城 (Chuancheng) - Rotteveel, bin Ku Zainol.

Today, Grilled's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. chinese made it 1-0 as Yao Kar Wai knocked the corner kick to Zeng Yue Jiu who whipped a low drive in off the far post. Maikel Rotteveel tied the game at 1 - 1 after 17 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. 1 - 2 was the score with 26 minutes played, after Grilled's Subri bin Ku Zainol cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. A thrilling play through the middle 31 minutes into the match gave Grilled's Ahmad Tharmini bin Selamat a chance to increase the lead, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 3. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. chinese's Lee Kong Li was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 37 minutes. Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Grilled goal after 38 minutes, making it 1 - 4. Ivaylo Mirchev was noted down as the scorer. Li How Wai was called on to replace chinese's Yao Kar Wai after 39 minutes following a nasty collision. After the ball was lifted in from the left, Maikel Rotteveel was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 40 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 4. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

Zhou Soon Hin seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in the 2-4 goal for chinese after a corner kick that was nicely executed by Lee Kong Li. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, Subri bin Ku Zainol would have put Grilled up another goal 49 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. After 55 minutes Grilled's 胡 (Hu) 剑勇 (Jianyong) contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. A drive on the left side allowed Grilled's Subri bin Ku Zainol to get in close and score a goal after 70 minutes, leading to 2 - 5. 73 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 6 as Subri bin Ku Zainol finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. This third goal made a hat trick for Subri bin Ku Zainol. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Grilled's Ivaylo Mirchev a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 77 minutes into the game. With 79 minutes played, a phenomenal play on the left side freed Maikel Rotteveel, of Grilled, to dash through and score another goal for the visitors. The score was then 2 - 7. 82 minutes in, Grilled's Maikel Rotteveel received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

chinese's best player was Lee Kong Li. Lee Ji Wook on the other hand, had a terrible day. Valdir Dias Paes performed admirably for Grilled. Weng Seng-Huat was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 7.
