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

Underestimation of the opposition made Grilled players perform way below their normal capacity. Cosme Matas gave Hattrick the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. Visarion Craioveanu increased Hattrick's lead to 2 - 0, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. The structure of the game started to change as Hattrick decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. With 38 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Grilled showed some good morale and were able to reduce the score to 2 - 1 when Lorenz Paullin got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Hattrick claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

A couple of well chosen halftime words made Grilled get a hold of themselves, and they seemed more concentrated during the second half. Grilled got a chance to level the score as Au-Yong Siu-Yue suddenly found himself free with only the 'keeper to beat, but the finishing shot hit the bar. Cao Wai-Kin came close to levelling the score 68 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. Peter Andreas Strassburger of Hattrick received a yellow card after 74 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Visarion Craioveanu increased Hattrick's lead to 3 - 1, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. 76 minutes into the game, Eric Alley had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Qiu Su-xin. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 57 percent of possession.

Hattrick's best player was Gogu Preda. Qiu Su-xin on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Shen Kek-Tjiang. Lorenz Paullin on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
