Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Alcántara, Tuan-Mu, Liehner - van Liere, Borup, Han Kok, Jie Siong, Paullin - Hjortlind, Hobson.

Tim Hobson got himself booked for a foul. 43 minutes into the game, Joho had difficulty finding their positions and their organization dropped to
weak. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 55 percent of possession.
During the break, Joho's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to
passable organization. A good free kick by
Boike Exodior would have scored the equaliser for Joho, had it not been for the dramatic save by the visitors' goalkeeper. Clever play that showed his experience gave
Jonas Olsson a good chance to score, but the shot hit the crossbar. 74 minutes into the game, Grilled worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Joho's
Alex Hódos put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 75 minutes, but the ball went wide. Joho claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.
Most important Joho player was
Alex Hódos.
Jonas Olsson was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Hidde van Liere.
