ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Love Unlimited Arena saw a crowd turnout of 128000. Gernot Gfatter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by António Portugal and Ronny Neindorf. The match took place on neutral ground. Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Alcántara, Falkbo, Bona - van Liere, Siu-Yue, Rottman, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin - Langeland, Martinsson.

Singapore had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Xiaolun - Hee-Jun, Stensson, Choi-Lin - Olsson, Örnskog, Kwee-Lee, bin Jantan, Tranlius - Thorér, Stjerning.

After a fine move down the middle Ola Martinsson nearly gave the home side a goal after 7 minutes. The finishing shot went just wide, though. Martin Stjerning's speed was clear to see after 8 minutes as he darted past his marker and struck an opening pass to Mattias Thorér who scored the 0-1 goal. With 27 minutes played, Tao Kwee-Lee 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 teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Singapore held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.

Au-Yong Siu-Yue was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Grilled with a strike from the left, but Chew Xiaolun managed to ward the closing shot off to a corner. After the ball was lifted in from the left, Mats Olsson was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 54 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. With the scoreboard clock showing 73 minutes, the inexperienced Grilled team fell into disarray. Torbjörn Örnskog increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2. The referee signalled a penalty 86 minutes into the game following an offence just inside of the box. Zulharisan bin Jantan knocked home the 0 - 3 goal just outside the reach of the goalkeeper. Singapore claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Hidde van Liere. Luis Alcántara on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Singapore player was Chew Xiaolun. However, Pian Choi-Lin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
