Lee Jie Siong received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 29 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Modranka's
Niels Klougart somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for
Marko Müler, who struck for 1 - 0. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Grilled's
Lee Jie Siong put the ball in the net after 36 minutes to make it 1 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Modranka's
Niels Klougart got himself booked. 41 minutes into the game, Modranka seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
inadequate level of organization. Grilled's
Lee Jie Siong gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 42 minutes with a superb strike from the right. 42 minutes into the game, Modranka seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a

During the break, Modranka's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to
passable organization.
Hidde van Liere was, after 64 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
Keiran Matthews made the save. When
Martin Polách left the game because of a back injury after 68 minutes, Modranka had to continue a man short due to there being no more available substitutions.
Hidde van Liere was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but
Ulf Hjortlind seemed unable to profit from this excellent service.
Bukhari Abd Hamid increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 1 - 3. 80 minutes in, Modranka's
Francisco Climenti received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 73 percent possession of the ball.
