had rained all day, but 52273 hardy fans still made it out to The Cooking Pot. Rüdiger 'Dragstor' Degerloch was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Brian Magleby and Deivi Ahja. Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Abed-Sulaiman - Zywczyn, Fredgård, Bona - van Liere, Rottman, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin, Han Kok - Kadak, Martinsson.

Herron decided to use a 4-3-3 set up. Lineup: Mohd Nadzir - Askenbrant, Haupai, Ulfsson, Pető - Ashton, Eriksson, Yong-chul - Westerhof, Jähnisch, Chit-Fu.

Herron were relying on their ability to counter-attack. 20 minutes into the game, Richard Ashton almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Grilled could have put themselves ahead after 33 minutes but Fabian Bona missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. With 35 minutes played Jaan Kadak almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. After 39 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by Herron on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by Marnix Westerhof to make it 0 - 1. It was 0 - 1 at the break. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

Grilled's Hidde van Liere put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored the 1 - 1 goal with 53 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. Herron almost scored after a counterattack 70 minutes into the match, but Shu Chit-Fu took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 76 minutes into the game, Nie Yong-chul almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. It was a bad day for the usually speedy Quah Han Kok. The mud seemed to slow him down. Slack defending gave Grilled a chance to take the lead with 82 minutes played, but Lorenz Paullin's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Grilled could have put themselves ahead after 83 minutes but Jaan Kadak missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.

Most important Grilled player was Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman. However, Fabian Bona made a disastrous appearance. Abd Rauf Mohd Nadzir performed admirably for Herron. Kjell Askenbrant on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
