The following players had been chosen: Silva Godói - Niazi, Whitaker, Francisco, Jaffee, Lim - Dalpasso, Chi Feng, Zaid, Hellema, Taskin -.

It was an obvious ambition of United to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 1 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. K. Rykowski came on for W. Shun An. The referee showed United's T. Hellema the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Grilled, K. Rykowski was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. N. Vandeneynde replaced him. The coach of United wanted to try to change things around after 15 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. The terraces were silenced after 15 minutes when Grilled's M. bin Mohd Kassim put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. After 23 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for M. bin Mohd Kassim who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 2. Grilled's W. Ping Shun got himself booked for a foul. The United players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. C. Ying Lee increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. United had to make a substitution after 35 minutes. R. Taskin limped off the field and was replaced by H. Karuaho. H. Whitaker of United seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 3 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by O. Zaid. After 39 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave M. bin Mohd Kassim a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 4. This third goal completed a hattrick for M. bin Mohd Kassim. The players of Grilled now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. It was 1 - 4 at the break. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 71 percent of possession.

After 46 minutes, United used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. The coach of Grilled was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, L. Wan Kang came on for C. Ying Lee. An indecisive keeper looked on as a free kick by Grilled's W. Ping Shun put the visitors up 1 - 5 after 48 minutes. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the United manager used a brief break in play after 60 minutes to give the players new directives. The visitors' W. Ping Shun took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 70 minutes into the match. 1 - 6 for Grilled. M. bin Mohd Kassim received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 75 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 1 - 7. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 76 minutes into the game, Grilled worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

The most dominating United player was without a doubt O. Zaid. H. Karuaho turned in a dismal performance, however. M. bin Mohd Kassim performed admirably for Grilled. However, L. Wan Kang made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 7.
