Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Bao-Tam - bin Che Lah, Pakpao, Seng-Huat - Fernández Riviera, Rottman, Spirig, Paullin, Barbour - Hjortlind, Langeland.
With 12 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
Ulf Hjortlind put the ball away for 0 - 1. Sporting's
Miguel Hernánde Llacer made an attempt at equalising 32 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. Sporting's
John Idsø put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored the 1 - 1 goal with 43 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. The referee showed Grilled's
Nui Pakpao the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled took the lead after 43 minutes with 1 - 2.
Jon Andrea Rottman placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The referee showed Sporting's
Miguel Hernánde Llacer the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.

Tim Hobson had to come off the bench. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 61 percent of possession.
After 72 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Jan Langeland who increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 3. Sporting had a brilliant opportunity to reply as
Javier Olano received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only
Hang Bao-Tam's reflexes saved him.

Tim Hobson came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over
Martín Luca de Tena and it was a little too high and hit the bar.
Christian Barrusseau of Sporting received a yellow card after 86 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Grilled's
Jan Langeland made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 89 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender sprang up, clearing the ball on the line. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 55 percent of possession.
The most dominating Sporting player was without a doubt
Björn Knutsson.
Sergio Maldini on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Jan Langeland. However,
Antonio Fernández Riviera made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
