678 spectators had come to The Cooking Pot this cloudy day. Nemesio Barquero Estevan, Ju was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Martin Dowe and Konsta Ruohomaa. Grilled decided to use a ‭2-5-3‬ set up. Lineup: Stacey - Madaini, 俊桂 (Jungui) - Back, Pujolràs, Fonseca, Dorogan, Josefsson - bin Mohd Kassim, Bögengang, Ying Lee.

BDSMFC tactics involved an interesting ‭5-2-3‬ combination. The following players took the field: Keng Wan - 祖晖 (Zuhui), bin Senin, Bampe, 斯凯 (Sikai) , Kian Chun - bin Abdul Karim, Ting Loong - bin Mahmood, Siong Nie, Liang Woon.

Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of BDSMFC. BDSMFC mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 27 minutes, but Lee Siong Nie was unable to convert from short range. The goal to make it 0 - 1 was scored by Phang Liang Woon after 31 minutes, following an opportunistic counterattack down the middle by BDSMFC. Chow Ying Lee made a superb strike after 33 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. After 34 minutes, Gleb Dorogan made a complete fool of himself when he dropped the ball to Lee Siong Nie who shuffled it into the goal for BDSMFC. 0-2. 于 (Yu) 祖晖 (Zuhui) suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing, when a counterattack by BDSMFC caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 73 percent.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Grilled's Anders Josefsson was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 55 minutes. Yvan Lefébure was given a chance to change things around. Grilled's Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 2. Azrul Amri bin Senin received the short corner, knocked it on to Toh Ting Loong who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. A foul 67 minutes into the game resulted in a free kick for Grilled. Domenik Bögengang took advantage as he curled the equalising goal into the top corner, just out of the reach of the keeper. 2 - 2. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed BDSMFC's Suhaizi bin Abdul Karim a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 71 minutes into the game. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. After 75 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Qassem Madaini off the field. Rosendo Chinchay took his place. 80 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. 林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui) gave Edvaldo Mourão a quick hug as he left the field. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 76 percent possession of the ball.

Domenik Bögengang performed admirably for Grilled. Edvaldo Mourão on the other hand, had a terrible day. BDSMFC's top performer was clearly Lee Siong Nie. Teo Keng Wan turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
