Scorps had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Flinkby - Kun-Fun, Guo-Fang, Jian-Yi, Ki-Jung - Sze-Ming, Chin, Saint, King-Li - Sei-Tee, Jun-Hao.
The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 28 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from
Chen Chiew-Yen, who, unaided, came in from the right wing hooking the ball over the visitors' keeper. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Grilled's lead to 2 - 0 as
Aznan Noor Yadah finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle.
Johan Dewilde of Grilled received a yellow card after 34 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 81 percent of possession.
The referee showed Grilled's
Tom Pence the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 73 minutes,

Tim Hobson put Grilled ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. 77 minutes into the match Grilled's
Chen Chiew-Yen head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. After 79 minutes Grilled's
Tom Pence contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. With 84 minutes played, the excellent ball from the wing by Grilled's
Tom Pence reached

Tim Hobson's head, and he is not one to miss such an opportunity - 4 - 0. Grilled put themselves up 5 - 0 when
Aznan Noor Yadah broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 90 percent.
Grilled's best player was
Ma Dai-Lin.
Tom Pence was a disappointment, however. Scorps's best player was
Deng Jian-Yi. However,
Lu Chin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
