Rimgaudas Gilucevičius broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay.
Raúl Chumbita was, after 33 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but home side's keeper
Dexter Stacey made the save. With 36 minutes played,
Kostandin Hasllani nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed
Shiya Shaahee from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 37 minutes into the game. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. heimu enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.
After 47 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Ljubomir Grgurović who increased heimu's lead to 0 - 3. After 58 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Raúl Chumbita a chance to increase the lead for heimu, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of heimu lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The heimu players could smell victory in the air.
Tobies Turu wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
Safri bin Mustapa after 60 minutes. The referee signalled a penalty 69 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box.
Safri bin Mustapa knocked it home to make the score 0 - 5. After 72 minutes, Grilled's
Chow Ying Lee swiftly ran past
Lee Chao Cheng and nutmegged the keeper! 1 - 5. With 76 minutes played,
Qassem Madaini was very close to reducing the score for Grilled with a low drive from the left, but a defender stuck his foot out just in the nick of time, blocking the shot to a corner. The home crowd was not impressed when
Safri bin Mustapa came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 78 minutes. heimu were now up 1 - 6. heimu had had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.
Most important Grilled player was
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim. On the other hand,
Shiya Shaahee's play was disheartening. The most dominating heimu player was without a doubt
Safri bin Mustapa.
Kostandin Hasllani turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
