Domenik Bögengang increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 2. With 17 minutes played, a phenomenal play on the left side freed
Maikel Rotteveel, of Grilled, to dash through and score another goal for the visitors. The score was then 0 - 3. After 19 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
Domenik Bögengang to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4.

With 48 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Ciro Penati. After the ball was lifted in from the left,
Domenik Bögengang was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 55 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Grilled goal after 78 minutes, making it 0 - 6.
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was noted down as the scorer. The game had been on for 79 minutes when
Ciro Penati broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 0 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay. A thrilling play through the middle 84 minutes into the match gave Grilled's
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim a chance to increase the lead, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 8. At that,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was noted down for a hat trick. Gonner4ever's
Huang Xin Keong was shown a yellow card after 88 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim of Grilled spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. A drive on the left side allowed Grilled's
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim to get in close and score a goal after 89 minutes, leading to 0 - 9. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 85 percent.
Gonner4ever's best player was
Lee Heng Keong.
Goh Min Jun on the other hand, had a terrible day. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Valdir Dias Paes. On the other hand,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 9.
