ear skies welcomed the 39948 spectators who had made their way to Laguna Fields. Gian Conino was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peter Zwimpfer and Gabriel Cenuşă. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Marine. The following players took the field: Lampreia - Dannemann, Baudelet, Bäckell, Amaya - Sólheim, Khairul Annuar, Verzè, Luqman, Avidar - Sahlan.

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

Marine were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Players in Marine heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, Barak Avidar scored for Marine putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 9 minutes. 11 minutes into the game, Marine were awarded a penalty that P. Sólheim turned into 2 - 0 without a problem. Grilled reduced the lead after 29 minutes to 2 - 1 as Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. Grilled's 梁. 力勇 (Liyong) left the field after 32 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Rashid bin Ahmad. Grilled tied it all up, 35 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 2 - 2. It was 2 - 2 at the break. Grilled had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

50 minutes into the game, Zhao Jing Wei was a hair's breadth away from giving Grilled the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by Dário Lampreia saved the home team that time. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Grilled's Chow Ying Lee after 57 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 2 - 3 lead. After 61 minutes, Marine switched Barak Avidar with Hans Larsson, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 77 minutes into the game, Hans Larsson came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. The referee showed Marine's Alberth Sahlan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Marine's Diederick Baudelet placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but Fuad Luqman couldn't finish. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Most important Marine player was Alberth Sahlan. Dion Dannemann was a disappointment, however. Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim performed admirably for Grilled. However, 卢. 尊文 (Zunwen) made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
