iv id="matchReport"> Due to an all-day shower, 62124 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at The Cooking Pot. Alain Michot was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jorge Gallardo and Ruud Gillebaard. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Jurong derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. The following players had been chosen: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan) , Filippone - Ping Shun, Shun An, Meyer, Lee Hao, Aik Jia - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.

Champions had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Ortega - van Wijk, Bejan, Vaidhyanathan, Göransson - Tse Jian, Ah De, Pang, 世昉 (Shifang), Pouderoux - Zuberbühler.

Grilled clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Champions were relying on their ability to counter-attack. L. Aik Jia, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. The terraces were silenced after 27 minutes when Champions's 冯. 世昉 (Shifang) put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) made a superb strike after 35 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but S. Göransson showed great heart and had a good game. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 37 minutes of play, W. Shun An evened things up for Grilled with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. Grilled had a good opportunity to take the lead as C. Ying Lee came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of E. Ortega. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Making his way up the middle 42 minutes into the match, C. Ying Lee almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert E. Ortega blocked it to keep the score level. With 43 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 2 - 1 lead as M. bin Mohd Kassim flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Good work by the Champions defensive line after 59 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found A. Pang alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. With the clock showing 66 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Champions resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by B. van Wijk in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. After 69 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by L. Aik Jia might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However, E. Ortega made a spectacular save. A wonderful trick by 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) that left D. Bejan bewildered really deserved to end in a goal but the keeper made a fine save. After 74 minutes Champions's D. Bejan had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. M. Khyril Muhymin came in to replace him. The referee showed Grilled's 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 53 percent of the ball.

田. 勇航 (Yonghang) performed admirably for Grilled. G. Filippone on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Champions player was without a doubt A. Pang. However, M. Khyril Muhymin made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
