Starters: Ortega - Göransson, Bejan, Vaidhyanathan, van Wijk - Aydınel, Pang, Ah De, 世昉 (Shifang), Pouderoux - Ütkün.

Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle. A. Vaidhyanathan gave Champions the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 Champions increased the lead as A. Ütkün struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; C. Ying Lee made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily scored to reduce the lead to 2 - 1 24 minutes into the match. Good work by the Champions defensive line after 33 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found F. Ah De alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. 冯. 世昉 (Shifang) increased the lead for Champions to 3 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Grilled came close to narrowing the gap when W. Ping Shun's free kick nearly made it past the outstretched hands of E. Ortega after 42 minutes. It was 3 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

The corner kick from A. Vaidhyanathan was powerfully met by the head of 冯. 世昉 (Shifang) to make the score 4 - 1. The players of Champions now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A great save by keeper W. Tian Han after 64 minutes kept the visitors in the game after B. van Wijk struck from the left with a real cannonball. After 72 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by Champions on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by 冯. 世昉 (Shifang) to make it 5 - 1. This third goal completed a hattrick for 冯. 世昉 (Shifang). 81 minutes into the game, Grilled's attack got through on the right, but M. bin Mohd Kassim couldn't handle the ball and his feeble kick wound up in the keeper's arms. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Champions coach let A. Kong replace E. Ortega after 89 minutes. B. Pouderoux was handed the Champions captain's armband. Grilled had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Most important Champions player was F. Ah De. A. Kong on the other hand, had a terrible day. 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) performed admirably for Grilled. However, A. Leong Kum made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 1.
