irly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 47366 to The Cooking Pot. Francis Widiantoro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by José Masnou and Hans-Gert Bachnik. The derby had been the talk of Jurong all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Grilled had chosen a strategic ‭2-5-3‬ formation. The following players took the field: Stacey - Chinchay, Lefébure - Back, 长春 (Changchun), Djekshenkulov, Fonseca, Dorogan - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.

A ‭4-5-1‬ alignment was the formation of choice for newbies. Lineup: You De - Leong Qiang, bin Nan, bin Ahmad, 康航 (Kanghang) - 偌添 (Ruotian), bin Durum, Ying Eng, Ho Yi, 豪平 (Haoping) - bin Saiban.

Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle. For their match strategy, newbies had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. 张 (Zhang) 康航 (Kanghang) knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 0 - 1 after 7 minutes. Chow Ying Lee tipped the corner kick right to the keeper, who mishandled it, giving Grilled's Alex Fonseca a chance to knock it in for 1-1. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for team Grilled, and they were successfully passing the ball from the wing into the middle to get them on. Alex Fonseca gave Grilled the lead with 2 - 1, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. After 36 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Rosendo Chinchay might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However, Wang You De made a spectacular save. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 59 percent of possession.

The home side failed to add to their score as Yvan Lefébure shot a penalty wide after 52 minutes. Cheers filled the stadium as 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the 3 - 1 goal for Grilled. Yvan Lefébure almost put Grilled ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. newbies showed their counterattack skill 74 minutes into the match by breaking through the middle, with Ler Ho Yi scoring uncontested for 3 - 2. 77 minutes into the match, Yvan Lefébure could have extended the lead, but his very hard free kick went just over the bar. newbies hit back on the counter attack 78 minutes into the game, but were fouled before reaching the danger area. The following free kick seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But there was an idea to it - the misdirected ball was turned into a cross ball towards 岳 (Yue) 豪平 (Haoping) , who was waiting for it in the box. That's 3 - 3! Don't forget to thank the coach back home for that idea! 80 minutes in, Grilled's Erik Back received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for newbies, Mohd Sofi bin Nan was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. Lee Eng Eng replaced him. 88 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. 林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui) came on for Rosendo Chinchay. After 88 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Yvan Lefébure off the field. Anders Josefsson took his place. Gleb Dorogan would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Edvaldo Mourão entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 88 minutes. The Grilled captaincy was handed to Anders Josefsson. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Most important Grilled player was Chow Ying Lee. On the other hand, Anders Josefsson's play was disheartening. newbies's best player was Wang You De. However, Lee Eng Eng made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 3.
