Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The guests took the lead 38 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in Lim 'Chao Keng' Tian Beng scoring to make it 0 - 1. The corner kick from Paolo Iten was powerfully met by the head of Seytek Djekshenkulov to make the score 1 - 1. Grilled broke through on the left 42 minutes into the game, with Seytek Djekshenkulov firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. The home team will be cursing Eugénio Soares for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 2 - 2 after 43 minutes. After 43 minutes, Liao put themselves up 2 - 3, as Gábor Borák finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The crowd roared in delight as Alex Fonseca finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for Grilled 44 minutes into the match. 3 - 3. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 54 percent of the ball.

Grilled took the lead 58 minutes in, as 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) broke through on the left and put the 4 - 3 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. 59 minutes into the game Liao's 廖 (Liao) 望松 (Wangsong) found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 4 - 4. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 65 minutes into the match, and Khairul Hisyam 'Boleh' Ridwan wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 4 - 5 for the visitors. Under heavy pressure after 71 minutes, the inexperienced Liao struggled to maintain their level of play. 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang)'s technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. After 83 minutes, Liao's 廖 (Liao) 望松 (Wangsong) burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 4 - 6. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs Chow Ying Lee found it hard to get back into position. 86 minutes into the match, Grilled's Seytek Djekshenkulov collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 5 - 6. This third goal completed a hattrick for Seytek Djekshenkulov. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

Grilled's top performer was clearly 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang). Yvan Lefébure on the other hand, had a terrible day. Liao's best player was Eugénio Soares. On the other hand, Luigi Antonio Giorgiani's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 6.
