brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 39000 to Northern United Arena. Heinz-Ulrich Madner was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mats Drakmo and Frede Reinwald. Northern had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Sosna - Li-Liang, Eng Sze, Talker, Miyazaki, Dorange - Warsidi, MacShannachan, Stern - Alberman, Kline.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Pakpao, Bona, bin Che Lah - Fernández Riviera, Stanton, Spirig, Paullin, Barbour - Hjortlind, Martinsson.

With 2 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, Fabian Bona needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. 4 minutes into the game, Earl Barbour almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave Grilled the lead 16 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 28 minutes allowed Ulf Hjortlind to score the 0 - 1 goal for Grilled. Grilled's Ola Martinsson received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 32 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 2 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 82 percent of possession.

Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 50 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 3 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. A surprising free kick routine after 60 minutes nearly resulted in another goal for the visitors, but the ball went just a little wide. With 60 minutes played, Nor Suhaimi bin Che Lah nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. After 67 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Nui Pakpao who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. Asher Stanton caused mayhem in his own defensive line with some mad dribbles within his own penalty zone, but Northern's Friedrich Stern's shot went just wide. With 72 minutes played, Ola Martinsson nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 85 percent possession of the ball.

The most dominating Northern player was without a doubt Patryk Sosna. Miki Talker was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was Fabian Bona. Antonio Fernández Riviera was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
