illed tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Kryus - 福泉 (Fuquan), Madaini - bin Jantan, 尊文 (Zunwen), Shun An, Djekshenkulov, 长春 (Changchun) - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang), Ying Lee.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Scallop. They fielded: Fasani - Beyerlein, Śmiech, Stolle - Teckenburg, 儒松 (Rusong), Ze Shi, Figueirinha - Papp, Milanić, Machnes.

Grilled clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 4 minutes into the match left Scallop's Alex Papp completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Abdul bin Jantan showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 21 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. Scallop's Bobby Ma got himself booked for a foul. The guests took the lead 29 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in Veljko Milanić scoring to make it 1 - 2. After 30 minutes of play, 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) evened things up for Grilled with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 2 - 2. Chow Ying Lee caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 32 minutes. This gave Grilled the 3 - 2 lead. 3 - 2 was the score after the first half. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

After 60 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Chow Ying Lee might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However, Claudio Fasani made a spectacular save. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let Leong Wan Kang replace Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim after 80 minutes. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Cheers filled the stadium as 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 2 to Grilled. Abdul bin Jantan wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 83 minutes into the game by Shiya Shaahee. Chow Ying Lee of Grilled was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish Stanisław Śmiech, which resulted in a goal making the score 5 - 2. Scallop fought on and, after 85 minutes, Lee Ze Shi was able to reduce the deficit to 5 - 3 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip. Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Bobby Ma rendered him his second booking of the match, and Scallop had to finish the game with a reduced squad. One of many good crosses from Paul Pattrick Teckenburg on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by Alex Papp, who scored for Scallop. 5 - 4 A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's Chow Ying Lee increasing the lead to 6 - 4. This third goal completed a hattrick for Chow Ying Lee. Grilled had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Grilled's top performer was clearly 田. 勇航 (Yonghang). Leong Wan Kang on the other hand, had a terrible day. Scallop's best player was Alex Papp. É. Figueirinha turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 4.
