With 15 minutes played
Chen Chiew-Yen almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide.
Ulf Hjortlind gave Grilled the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by
Wilfred Alessandro. At last, Bulls's
Jaume Vallmitjà was able to shove the ball in. 1-1. Grilled were very close to putting themselves one up after 29 minutes as
Quah Han Kok got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Halftime score was 1 - 1. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 77 percent possession of the ball.
Ulf Hjortlind of Grilled received a yellow card after 54 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Grilled made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left
Terkel Borup completely alone with keeper

Terkel Borup knocked the ball home.
