irly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 41000 to Golden Kakis Arena. Lucian-Adrian Baciu was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Norberto Moureau and Tommi Dodemond. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Golden. The following players took the field: Davies - Groenewegen, Guimond, Linnenkohl - Schneiter, Vignjević, Staalenburg, Rosta, van der Voort - Mares, van Adrichem.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Bao-Tam - Zywczyn, Kek-Tjiang, Fredgård - Jie Siong, Rottman, Abd Hamid, Borup, van Liere - Kadak, Hjortlind.

The referee showed Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. In a fantastic display of determination, Golden's Erik Rosta forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. After 31 minutes, Grilled put themselves up by 0 - 1, as Terkel Borup finished off a strike from the left with a real cannon placed at the far post. Jaan Kadak came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over Christopher Davies and it was a little too high and hit the bar. Cedric van Adrichem pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 38 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. A badly positioned defensive formation on a free kick after 39 minutes led to Grilled's Sylweriusz Zywczyn giving the visitors the lead 1 - 2. It was 1 - 2 at the break. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

The home crowd was not impressed when Jaan Kadak came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 59 minutes. Grilled were now up 1 - 3. Confident in their lead, Grilled decided to play a more defensive game at this point. Miloš Vignjević received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 66 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. 67 minutes in, Grilled's Anders Fredgård received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After 68 minutes, Grilled's Ulf Hjortlind burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 4. Ulf Hjortlind could have put his team up another goal 74 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 58 percent of possession.

Miloš Vignjević performed admirably for Golden. However, Cedric van Adrichem made a disastrous appearance. Most important Grilled player was Jaan Kadak. Bukhari Abd Hamid on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
