Xvelum showed off their creative tactics. Xvelum had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 15 minutes in when N. Clavijo came up alone against K. Rykowski who managed a block. After 16 minutes, Xvelum were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. N. Clavijo did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. The visitors were very close to gaining the lead with a marvellous free kick after 25 minutes, but K. Rykowski made a beautiful one-handed save. After 30 minutes C. Ying Lee made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to C. bin Sabtu who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 0. Grilled had to make a substitution after 31 minutes. 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) limped off the field and was replaced by H. Bakhtiar. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by N. Clavijo. At last, Xvelum's C. Blacutt was able to backheel the ball in. 1 - 1. M. Mäkilä of Xvelum was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Xvelum, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Xvelum's Y. Gkonis gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 49 minutes with a superb strike from the right. C. Blacutt 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 K. Rykowski but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With 59 minutes played, Xvelum put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was T. Ocampo. With 71 minutes played, J. Rossel 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. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Grilled's Q. Madaini was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 75 minutes. J. Cisquell was given a chance to change things around. T. Ocampo was, after 82 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 K. Rykowski made the save. H. Bakhtiar knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 2 - 3 after 83 minutes. Xvelum claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Most important Grilled player was 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . K. Rykowski was a disappointment, however. Xvelum's best player was F. Dutra. On the other hand, A. Achá's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 3.
