2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. They fielded: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan), Filippone - Ping Shun, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Jing Wei, bin Jantan - 勇航 (Yonghang), bin Sabtu, Ying Lee.

Blackburn started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Weidle - Lamberti, Brandes, Henao - De Choon, Nordstrand, Lyulin, Frunză, Wai Ying - Erskine, Yáñez.

The crowd groaned its disapproval when W. Ping Shun missed a free kick that would have given Grilled the lead after 12 minutes. Many thought 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) ought to have been awarded a penalty 20 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around A. Weidle after a determined run through the middle. Grilled's Z. Jing Wei was shown a yellow card after 21 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Grilled created a good opportunity to score 27 minutes into the match when C. bin Sabtu's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 33 minutes into the match, and A. Yáñez wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Grilled had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Grilled were awarded a penalty with 57 minutes played, and W. Ping Shun made no mistake as he effortlessly slotted the equaliser home. 1 - 1. R. Erskine showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for Blackburn after 63 minutes to make the score 1 - 2. A drive down the left side allowed V. Lyulin to get in close and score another goal for Blackburn after 67 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. After 72 minutes, Z. Jing Wei 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. 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) got left behind when Blackburn's C. De Choon made a sudden run forward after 74 minutes, finishing off with a neat strike. 1 - 4! 75 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 5 as F. Frunză finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. 81 minutes into the match, Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 2 - 5. At 82 minutes into the game, Grilled's Z. Jing Wei deftly knocked the ball home after an impressive run down the left, reducing the visitors' lead to 3 - 5. The bench was restless, and with 85 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave N. Vandeneynde the opportunity the player had been hoping for. A. bin Jantan reluctantly left the field. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Grilled's top performer was clearly C. Ying Lee. N. Vandeneynde on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Blackburn player was without a doubt P. Wai Ying. T. Brandes was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 5.
