A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Chinablack. The following players took the field: bin Mat Arif - Ratas, Barslev, Peoples - Rua, Aik How, Tzung, Pećarić, Jarzębiński - Nelis, Semprún.
The most controversial moment of the game was likely the penalty given after 19 minutes. Chinablack's
Roy Peoples kept his concentration, despite the upset crowd, and calmly put the ball past the keeper to score the 0 - 1 goal for the visitors. After 30 minutes of play,
Ola Martinsson equalised for Grilled after an elegant attack from the right. The left side created an opportunity for the visitors 34 minutes into the match, and
Niels Barslev wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 1 - 2 for the visitors. 35 minutes in, Chinablack's
Tay Aik How received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. In a fantastic display of determination, Grilled's
Anders Fredgård forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. With clinical precision, the cross pass from winger
LuÃs Rua found its way to
Niall Nelis's head, and a screaming header gave Chinablack the 1 - 3 goal after 39 minutes played. The home crowd were delighted when
Hidde van Liere scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 2 to 3. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Halftime score was 2 - 3. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 59 percent of possession.
After 61 minutes,
Dani Spirig made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 3 - 3. Chinablack took the lead by 3 to 4 after
Roy Peoples curved a free kick into the net. After 68 minutes,
Ola Martinsson made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 4 - 4.
Fabian Bona gave Grilled the lead with 5 - 4, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. Grilled solidified their lead at the 69 minute mark, as
Hidde van Liere manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 6 - 4. 70 minutes in, Grilled's
Shen Kek-Tjiang received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Shen Kek-Tjiang. However,
Jon Andrea Rottman made a disastrous appearance. Chinablack's top performer was clearly
Tay Aik How. However,
Przemysław Jarzębiński made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 6 - 4.
