irly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 3597 to Solidarity Stadium. Boe Nellemann was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jesús Manobens and Ole Büchner. Red Rebels tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Chavez - Storms, Chudecki, Bruggemann - de Graan, Terol, Brinkhoff, Dalmolen, Assenmacher - Sinh Cung, van Beveren.

Grilled started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Noubaryan - Bakhtiar, Awyong - Yong Yau, Gudivada, Da Teck, Adabala, Wee Li - Azhari, Boon Boon, 恒才 (Hengcai).

Wijnand Terol caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 5 minutes. This gave Red Rebels the 1 - 0 lead. Red Rebels will have to do without Hugo Chavez for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 6 minute mark. He was substituted by Mikhail Gorbachev. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 22 minutes, Red Rebels tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Grilled's Mayur Gudivada put the ball in the net after 23 minutes to make it 1 - 1. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Grilled's Hung Wee Li after 27 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 1 - 2 lead. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by Holger Dalmolen. At last, Red Rebels's Tomas de Graan was able to backheel the ball in. 2 - 2. After 30 minutes, Sebastian Brinkhoff came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to put away the 3 - 2 goal, giving Red Rebels the lead. It was 3 - 2 at the break. This half belonged to Red Rebels, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Red Rebels's lead to 4 - 2 as Renze van Beveren finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. With 48 minutes played, Red Rebels put themselves up 5 - 2 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Sammy Assenmacher, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After this, you could see that the players of Red Rebels were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Hilal Bakhtiar">Hilal Bakhtiar still has a lot to learn. For instance, he should know not to make half-hearted passes in front of Nguyễn Sinh Cung, who easily scored for Red Rebels, making it 6 - 2. Red Rebels's Renze van Beveren got himself booked for a foul. Red Rebels's Renze van Beveren struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 7 - 2 after 69 minutes. After 78 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Holger Dalmolen might have resulted in another goal for Red Rebels. However, Hovaness Noubaryan made a spectacular save. Grilled reduced the lead after 79 minutes to 7 - 3 as Neo Da Teck easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. After 88 minutes, Grilled switched Colby Awyong with Qassem Madaini, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Red Rebels claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Red Rebels's best player was Sebastian Brinkhoff. Mikhail Gorbachev on the other hand, had a terrible day. 唐 (Tang) 恒才 (Hengcai) performed admirably for Grilled. Hilal Bakhtiar">Hilal Bakhtiar turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 3.
