000 spectators had come to The Igloo Dome this cloudy day.

Grilled's
Quah Han Kok managed to lose the defenders as he came down the right side and scored, putting the visitors ahead, 0 - 1. After 40 minutes of play,
Rodrigo Ramallo equalised for Penguins after an elegant attack from the right.
Bukhari Abd Hamid tipped the corner kick right to the keeper, who mishandled it, giving Grilled's
Ulf Hjortlind a chance to knock it in for 1-2. The visitors'
Jaan Kadak took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and central backs 42 minutes into the match. 1 - 3 for Grilled. The visitors added to their lead 43 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn slid just past the home keeper. 1 - 4. Halftime score was 1 - 4. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 61 percent possession of the ball.
Ulf Hjortlind of Grilled was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After the ball was lifted in from the left,
Jaan Kadak was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 61 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 68 minutes in, Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Penguins didn't give in and with 71 minutes played
Frédéric Buhofer was able to put the 2 - 4 goal away after a play on the right. With 74 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 2 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Shen Kek-Tjiang. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's
Bukhari Abd Hamid got himself booked. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 56 percent of possession.
Most important Penguins player was
David Montenegro.
Luo Tze Sian turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Shen Kek-Tjiang.
Bukhari Abd Hamid turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 5.
