A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 5255 to The Cooking Pot. Victor Buisson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Emilio Valdunciel and Nicolae Mihalcea. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. Lineup: Tian Han - Bakhtiar, Ross, Awyong - 福泉 (Fuquan) , 勇航 (Yonghang) , bin Mohd Kassim, Aik Jia, Ying Lee - Bacelar, Bellamoli.

mascachorros tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Starters: Dhondt - Hanni, Toumpoulis, Echenique, Moshckovitz - Wagnsonner, Rabl, Cenciarelli, Perdiguero - Fracassi, Cuevas.

Grilled saw most attack opportunities on the wings. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of mascachorros's Y. Toumpoulis after 2 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. M. Perdiguero increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. Grilled's C. Ying Lee got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 2. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Cuevas came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 29 minutes. mascachorros were now up 1 - 3. 32 minutes into the game, mascachorros had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. 33 minutes in, mascachorros appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only inadequate. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Grilled, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The crowd groaned when P. Bellamoli, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit for Grilled. Halftime score was 1 - 3. mascachorros claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that mascachorros had solid organisation. After 46 minutes, Grilled switched P. Bellamoli with L. Wan Kang, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. After 54 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed M. Echenique to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 4. 62 minutes in, mascachorros's Y. Toumpoulis received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. After 65 minutes, L. Aik Jia had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for Grilled with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. L. Hanni was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a mascachorros counterattack from the left after 66 minutes. His neat finish made the score 1 - 5. At this point, it was obvious that the players of mascachorros lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. W. Ross did everything he could to get one back for his Grilled, but keeper L. Dhondt denied him with a spectacular block. After 80 minutes, M. Perdiguero sent the corner kick right to G. Cenciarelli who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 6! With 81 minutes played, Y. Toumpoulis nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 88 minutes D. Bacelar made way for H. Hoy. 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) became the new Grilled captain. Possession in this half belonged to mascachorros, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

Grilled's top performer was clearly W. Tian Han. However, C. Awyong made a disastrous appearance. Most important mascachorros player was O. Rabl. A. Cuevas was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
