ear skies welcomed the 12000 spectators who had made their way to team11 Arena.
Marcelo Brás was the appointed referee with assistance provided by

Grilled decided to use a 4-3-3 set up. The following players took the field: Silvera - bin Yaacob, Olsson, Qiang Dong, Chuan Heng - Back, Kim, Mourão - 勇航 (Yonghang) , bin Mohamad, Cunha Simões.
Grilled clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. After 11 minutes, Grilled's
Ângelo Cunha Simões made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After 19 minutes, Grilled's
Erik Back burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. After 32 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Ângelo Cunha Simões who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 3. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, team11's
Mohd Dahlan bin Mohd Zain got himself booked. After 38 minutes team11's
Kamarulzaman bin Sahat contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. 43 minutes into the game,
Kamarulzaman bin Sahat had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Li Man. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 71 percent of possession.
Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let
Anders Josefsson replace
Erik Back after 46 minutes. As
Edvaldo Mourão was substituted 46 minutes into the game, he could take comfort in the fact that his team was in the lead.
Ciro Penati was the replacement.
Chua Qiang Dong of Grilled was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 77 minutes, Grilled sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
Safri bin Mohamad, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot and score the 0 - 4 goal. Grilled's
田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) received a play slashing through the home side's central defence after 82 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 5 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. A thrilling play through the middle 83 minutes into the match gave Grilled's
Ângelo Cunha Simões a chance to increase the lead, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6. At that,
Ângelo Cunha Simões was noted down for a hat trick. 84 minutes into the game, Grilled seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
inadequate level of organization. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled were awarded a penalty and
Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 7 rolling the ball in by the right post. Grilled's
Ciro Penati was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box -
Safri bin Mohamad managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 8 after 86 minutes. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.
Dharmveer Kanjilal performed admirably for team11.
Mazlan bin Abdul Hamid turned in a dismal performance, however. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Ciro Penati. However,
Chua Qiang Dong made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 8.
