At the beginning of the game, Grilled appeared to have already taken this victory to the bank. Chinablack seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Grilled took the lead 13 minutes into the game, scoring the 0 - 1 goal after some elegant plays down the middle. Shen Kek-Tjiang was the scorer. Grilled's Ola Martinsson scored the 0 - 2 goal after 19 minutes by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent keeper no other option than to pick the ball out of the net. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. Chinablack had a brilliant opportunity to reply as Jan Kyhlell received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only Clair Harlow's reflexes saved him. Grilled will have to do without Asher Stanton for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 40 minute mark. He was substituted by Lorenz Paullin. Jan Jonasson made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 40 minutes into the match. Niall Nelis bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for Chinablack. 1 - 2. Chinablack's Velimir Pećarić made an attempt at equalising 40 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. Chinablack's Niall Nelis got himself booked for a foul. Au-Yong Siu-Yue increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 1 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 3. Chinablack held the ball, with a clear 59 percent of possession.

Xi Tian-Xiang almost put the reducer away having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. Chinablack's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 70 minutes into the match as Jan Jonasson ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 2 - 3. Xi Tian-Xiang pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 72 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 3 - 3 equaliser away. Chinablack made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Jacques Laporte completely alone with keeper Clair Harlow, who made a spectacular block. Jan Langeland of Grilled received a yellow card after 72 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Chinablack held the ball, with a clear 60 percent of possession.

Most important Chinablack player was Hsiao Tzung. Velimir Pećarić was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was Shen Kek-Tjiang. Luis Alcántara was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 3.
