Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 99103 at Undiscovered Paradise today. Per Johansson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alejandro Cenoz and Niels Weinhardt. The match took place on neutral ground. Ropelearner started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Kopola - Floris, Tadel, Scheerlinck - Scărlătescu, Leong Long, Queiss, Tse, Ninassarvik - Keong Hui, Coucke.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan) , Filippone - Ping Shun, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Jing Wei, Aik Jia - bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee, 勇航 (Yonghang).

0 - 1 was the score with 18 minutes played, after L. Aik Jia cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Grilled. The referee signalled a penalty 22 minutes into the game following an offence which looked like it was outside the box. W. Ping Shun knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. With 23 minutes played, D. Ninassarvik's free kick looked like a certain goal for Ropelearner, but to his teammates' dismay, the keeper managed to tip it wide. With 25 minutes played, the Ropelearner coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. 周. 家俊 (Jiajun) came on, W. Tadel had to leave the fray. Grilled's L. Aik Jia was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 26 minutes. After 29 minutes, Grilled's Z. Jing Wei burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. As the game started to slip away for Ropelearner, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

After 49 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for 朱. 长春 (Changchun) who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. After 50 minutes, Ropelearner used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. After 52 minutes, a deliberate handball from Grilled's L. Aik Jia was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. It took several tries, but Ropelearner managed to break through on the left after 53 minutes, getting the ball to L. Keong Hui who easily reduced the lead to make the score 1 - 4. After 59 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 5. W. Shun An came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over F. Kopola but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 51 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Ropelearner player was without a doubt J. Coucke. However, M. Scărlătescu made a disastrous appearance. Grilled's best player was 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . G. Filippone on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 5.
