was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 12000 that came out to A1-united Arena. Goran Bursać was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ignacio Barceló Serramaler and Arturo Silveira. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for A1-united. The following players had been chosen: Wan Keong - Wen Hock, Liang Lee, bin Ahmad Shariffuddin, Su Da - 冠伦 (Guanlun), 贵烽 (Guifeng), Kim Guang, 保雄 (Baoxiong) - Chang Woon, 平勇 (Pingyong).

Grilled decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Lineup: Dias Paes - Woon Jin, Mirchev, bin Yaacob - Han Lai, Dorogan, Jun Chang, Torsson - bin Mohamad, bin Mohd Kassim, Cunha Simões.

Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. 9 minutes into the match, the visiting Grilled scored the 0 - 1 goal after Ivaylo Mirchev executed a perfect free kick. A1-united had to make a substitution after 14 minutes. Au Su Da limped off the field and was replaced by Mohd Nizaruddin bin Salleh. Players in team Grilled heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Grilled's Safri bin Mohamad received a play slashing through the home side's central defence after 21 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 2 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. With the scoreboard showing that 23 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after Lee Han Lai came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. A1-united's 林 (Lin) 贵烽 (Guifeng) had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 27 minutes having been played. Mohd Ramzi bin Abdul Manap was the replacement. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let Michele Salieri replace Martin Torsson after 46 minutes. The referee signalled a penalty 50 minutes into the game following an offence just inside of the box. Ivaylo Mirchev knocked home the 0 - 3 goal just outside the reach of the goalkeeper. After 52 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Lee Han Lai who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. At this point in the game, defending their lead became the main priority for Grilled. Grilled's Ângelo Cunha Simões wanted to play on, but 60 minutes into the game the decision was made to substitute him for 鄭 (Zheng) 力海 (Lihai) . Gan Wan Keong got a fingertip on Gleb Dorogan's shot from the left 67 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. 80 minutes into the game a free kick by Ivaylo Mirchev found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Grilled's lead 0 - 5. This third goal made a hat trick for Ivaylo Mirchev. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 64 percent of possession.

A1-united's best player was 孙 (Sun) 平勇 (Pingyong). Gan Wan Keong was a disappointment, however. Grilled's top performer was clearly Valdir Dias Paes. On the other hand, Ivaylo Mirchev's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
