was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 43131 that came out to The Kherubim. Antal Röst was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alfonso Sáenz and Romeo Nini. SpartanSG had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Wing - Joshi, Tang, Lai Dong - Iyer, Ho Hao, Keng Keng, Yeow Long, Barve - Kian Puay, Woon Leong.

Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Kryus - bin Ahmad, 福泉 (Fuquan) , Madaini - Shaahee, Aik Jia, bin Mohd Kassim, Jing Wei, Shun An - 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.

SpartanSG used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. 0 - 1 was the score with 11 minutes played, after Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Grilled. After 17 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Chow Ying Lee a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Grilled lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Shiya Shaahee received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 27 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Chow Ying Lee was, after 31 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper Reggie Wing made the save. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 76 percent.

Low Aik Jia wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. The visitors nearly scored again after 50 minutes, but a superb save by Reggie Wing kept Qassem Madaini's free kick out of the net. After 56 minutes, Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. Qassem Madaini of Grilled took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 70 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 5. The visitors' Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 72 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Grilled. After 73 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 7. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

SpartanSG's best player was Foong Kian Puay. On the other hand, Reggie Wing's play was disheartening. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Chow Ying Lee. Edmund Kryus was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
