e 53580 fans in attendance at SnowMan Team Arena were roasting in the hot sun. Christophe Dali was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cristian Spirea and Lê Thái. SnowMan tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. They fielded: Niidumaa - Mărgineanu, Liljenner, Mcnair, Rosa, Iturbide - Liang Wee, Ping Chao, Nedergaard - Skywalker, Kuther.

Grilled decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Starters: Dias Paes - Crkvenjakov, Behr, Talib - Penati, Branbilla, Dorogan, 达荣 (Darong) - Bögengang, Han Kok, Rotteveel.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of SnowMan. Today, Grilled's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Quah Han Kok made a quick rush after 12 minutes, but Lluís Rosa had no problems keeping up the pace and stopped the attack. SnowMan created a good opportunity to score 14 minutes into the match when Nicolai Nedergaard's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile 封 (Feng) 达荣 (Darong) . The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to Wu Liang Wee, but the SnowMan player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Grilled levelled the score after 37 minutes to make it 1 - 1, as Vukota Crkvenjakov struck home after a fine midfield combination through the middle, leaving him completely unmarked. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. No one team arose to dominate this half, ending in a deadlock.

49 minutes into the match, the speedy Riko Kuther easily outpaced Vukota Crkvenjakov to knock in the 2-1 goal. Lluís Rosa wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. 封 (Feng) 达荣 (Darong) tied the game at 2 - 2 after 57 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. The defensive line of SnowMan created a counterattack through the middle that gave Nicolai Nedergaard a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. SnowMan enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Most important SnowMan player was Wu Liang Wee. On the other hand, Gabriel Mărgineanu's play was disheartening. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Valdir Dias Paes. 封 (Feng) 达荣 (Darong) turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
