04 spectators arrived at BlackMagic Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Christian Thorstensson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by José Antonio Blanco and Christophe Molitor. BlackMagic tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Lansbergen - Maubach, Buijs, Pham, Mischler, Berthelot - Delahaye, Grinwis, Rascon Ortega Razqui, Schmidt - Clement.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Huel-sheng - bin Che Lah, Tuan-Mu, Seng-Huat - Tellskär, Yew-Hoe, Blissenbach, Noor Yadah, Ze - Hobson, Reed.

BlackMagic made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Marcel Pham completely alone with keeper Cheung Huel-sheng, who made a spectacular block. Many thought Marcel Pham ought to have been awarded a penalty shot 16 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around Cheung Huel-sheng after a determined run through the middle. 33 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but Tim Hobson" alt="Tim Hobson">Tim Hobson, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. Marcel Pham gave BlackMagic the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, BlackMagic's Jos Mischler got himself booked. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.

A header from Nicolas Clement connected with a corner kick after 64 minutes, and the ball ended up with Rafael Rascon Ortega Razqui of BlackMagic who shot home the 2-0 goal. BlackMagic will have to do without Gisbert Grinwis for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 79 minute mark. He was substituted by Bart Casteels. No one team arose to dominate this half, ending in a deadlock.



The most dominating BlackMagic player was without a doubt Bart Casteels. However, Jos Mischler made a disastrous appearance. Grilled's best player was Chai Yew-Hoe. Cheung Huel-sheng was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
