007 spectators arrived at Shevchenko Stadium, Bukit Panjang, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Luther Isbell was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jean-Pierre Bolinger and Esaias Mustonen. People from all over had joined up for the derby. UNITED had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Yu-Chung - Nieves, Ho Tong, Paviæ - Pui-Shun, Falcón, Jordão, Andersson - Veltman, Moreno, Stoesser.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Abed-Sulaiman - Alcántara, Bona, Zywczyn - Abd Hamid, Siu-Yue, Han Kok, Kek-Tjiang, van Liere - Martinsson, Wai-Kin.

Grilled took the lead after 4 minutes with 0 - 1. Bukhari Abd Hamid placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Grilled's Cao Wai-Kin received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 19 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 2 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. The game had been on for 25 minutes when Cao Wai-Kin broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 0 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

52 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. The referee showed Grilled's Au-Yong Siu-Yue the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled increased the lead to 0 - 4 as Sylweriusz Zywczyn scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in near the top left corner. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Alojzije Paviæ tried lifting the ball over keeper Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. UNITED's Agustín Nieves left the field after 87 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Leonardo Huel. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 52 percent of possession.

Most important UNITED player was Fidel Falcón. Leonardo Huel on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Cao Wai-Kin. However, Bukhari Abd Hamid made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 4.
