ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Blackwood Field saw a crowd turnout of 67407. Luigi Riopi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Atle Nordby and Erwin Axt . heimu had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Smaev - Ricart, 奥博 (Aobo) , Zannoni - Jing Hin, Grgurović, bin Durum, Foster, Petracchini - Uraz, Leemans.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. Lineup: Dias Paes - Crkvenjakov, Behr, Talib - Penati, Branbilla, Han Kok, Dorogan - Rotteveel, bin Mohd Kassim, Bögengang.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Grilled on this day. Dmitry Smaev looked great 9 minutes into the match after stopping a shot by the visitors' Matthias Branbilla. Grilled had a good opportunity to score the lead goal but the home team's goalkeeper Dmitry Smaev saved Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim's shot that was headed for the top corner from the right. After 22 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. Roger Ricart easily put the 1 - 0 goal away to give the lead to heimu. A lunatic dribble by Gleb Dorogan, in front of his own keeper, set up heimu's Zeynel Uraz for an embarrassingly easy strike after 23 minutes. 2 - 0! After 29 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Ljubomir Grgurović might have resulted in another goal for heimu. However, Valdir Dias Paes made a spectacular save. With 33 minutes played, Grilled's Ciro Penati fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Ciro Penati for diving. Rocco Zannoni increased heimu's lead to 3 - 0, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. By now, heimu were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Halftime score was 3 - 0. This half belonged to heimu, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

After an industrious effort down the middle, Roger Ricart could have closed the game off after 57 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. Ronny Behr had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper Dmitry Smaev just wouldn't surrender. The forty-five minutes were dominated by heimu, with an impressive 59 percent possession of the ball.

Most important heimu player was Zeynel Uraz. On the other hand, Roger Ricart's play was disheartening. Valdir Dias Paes performed admirably for Grilled. Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
