Lineup: van Gompel - Mönkhof, Joon-Ming, Jacobsson - Delarue, Hultander, Van-Phuoc, Jin-Ping, Klintskog - Kai-Chung, Avramidis.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Abed-Sulaiman - Zywczyn, Bona, Falkbo - Han Kok, Rottman, Paullin, Siu-Yue, Borup - Wai-Kin, Martinsson.

Many thought Nikos Avramidis ought to have been awarded a penalty shot 15 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman after a determined run through the middle. Winning's Nikos Avramidis tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. After 31 minutes of play, Reinold Mönkhof gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Winning, with an impressive 60 percent possession of the ball.

Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Grilled's Ola Martinsson put the ball in the net after 66 minutes to make it 1 - 1. After a fine move down the middle Zang Kai-Chung nearly gave the home side a goal after 76 minutes. The finishing shot went just wide, though. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 78 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from David Klintskog, who, unaided, came in from the right wing hooking the ball over the visitors' keeper. The visitors' Ola Martinsson was alert on a play coming in from the left, tying the score at 2 - 2 after 89 minutes. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Winning, with an impressive 60 percent possession of the ball.

Winning's best player was Markus Hultander. However, Mathias Jacobsson made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Cao Wai-Kin. Terkel Borup on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
