Adamastor Teive and
Ayden Hamburger. A 4-3-3 alignment was the formation of choice for neo277. They fielded: Ladzim - Chung-Hing, bin Sofian, Ben Zeev, Garvey - bin Abdul Rashid, Swee-Heng, bin Sofian - Siew-Fan, Koon-Hiong, Kang Chew.

neo277 clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle.
Khairul Azuar Ladzim looked great 9 minutes into the match after stopping a shot by the visitors'
Jaan Kadak. 11 minutes in, Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A long pass from the defence of neo277 resulted in a counterattack that set
Yu Chung-Hing free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. 0 - 1 was the score with 37 minutes played, after Grilled's
Anders Fredgård cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. A thrilling play through the middle 44 minutes into the match gave Grilled's
Dani Spirig a chance to increase the lead, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 82 percent of possession.
After 55 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Dani Spirig who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 3. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. After 64 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Terkel Borup who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. Grilled's
Jaan Kadak was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The neo277 player who had to be helped off the pitch, was
Rashid bin Abdul Rashid as he was unable to finish the game.
Mohd Tuah bin Abd Rani came in to finish the match. Grilled's
Dani Spirig received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 76 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 5 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for
Dani Spirig. A penalty was called after 86 minutes, and Grilled's
