illed started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Lineup: Kryus - 福泉 (Fuquan), Madaini - Shaahee, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Djekshenkulov, 尊文 (Zunwen) - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang), Ying Lee.

Tampines decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players took the field: 云宇 (Yunyu) - Puay Eng, Wang, Jin Beng, Jian De - bin Ahmad, bin Bahauddin, Han Huat, Keng Feng, Dongkai - bin Mohd Nor.

Grilled could have put themselves ahead after 5 minutes but 凌 (Ling) 福泉 (Fuquan) missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang). The referee showed Tampines's Christopher Wang the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Edmund Kryus looked great 39 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' Lim Keng Feng. Chow Ying Lee did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. Grilled's 朱 (Zhu) 长春 (Changchun) tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to 卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen), but the Grilled player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! It was 1 - 0 at the break. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but 卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen) showed great heart and had a good game. The coach of Grilled was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 85 minutes, Pompeo Bellamoli came on for 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang). The Grilled players could smell victory in the air. 卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen) wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for Gleb Dorogan after 88 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Chow Ying Lee performed admirably for Grilled. Pompeo Bellamoli on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Tampines player was without a doubt 陆 (Lu) 云宇 (Yunyu). However, Tay Puay Eng made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
