Tim Hobson had a good try after 35 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. The referee showed Grilled's
Chai Yew-Hoe the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 39 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Tactician's
Luo Nhut being carried off the pitch and replaced by
Håkan Olsson. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.
With 46 minutes played, the excellent ball from the wing by Tactician's
Mah Kyu-Hook reached
Song Woon-Wing's head, and he is not one to miss such an opportunity - 1 - 0. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 57 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but
Gan Yuan-Pin got the best of it, blocking the shot from
Chen Chiew-Yen. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Grilled's

Tim Hobson put the ball in the net after 67 minutes to make it 1 - 1. The referee showed Grilled's
Peter Magnusson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled took the lead 75 minutes into the game, scoring the 1 - 2 goal after some elegant plays down the middle.
Daniel Tellskär was the scorer. With 84 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,
Weng Seng-Huat needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed.
Chen Chiew-Yen was, after 84 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but home side's keeper
Gan Yuan-Pin made the save. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's
Chen Chiew-Yen got himself booked. 88 minutes into the game,
Peter Magnusson had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Tom Pence. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 74 percent of possession.
Tactician's best player was
Nigel Ruth. However,
Håkan Olsson made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Hang Bao-Tam.

Tim Hobson was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
