Astana_United fielded a 3-5-2 lineup. For Grilled Birds, the formation of choice was 2-5-3. A lack of experience caused G. Avvakumov to make a difficult dribble close to dangerous opponent C. Xin Lee of Grilled, who took the opportunity to score making it 0 - 1. The visitors' L. Wan Kang took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 17 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Grilled. One of many good crosses from N. Muthyala on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by R. Isufi, who scored for Grilled. 0 - 3 22 minutes into the game AUN broke through on the left wing and Y. Pimenov managed to reduce the lead to 1 - 3. After 32 minutes, the defensive line of AUN created a counterattack through the middle that gave J. Ismadiyarov a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. After 37 minutes a very unfortunate collision in the penalty area led to Grilled's R. bin Ahmad being carried off the pitch and replaced by R. van der Ban. 41 minutes in, Grilled's M. Saliman received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Y. Pimenov of AUN had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. D. Dzhumagaliyev came in to finish the match. G. M�sz�ros became the new AUN captain. 43 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 4 as L. Wan Kang finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Halftime score was 1 - 4. Grilled had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

The home crowd was given a certain amount of consolation when A. Dukenov scored after a brilliant midfield combination through the centre, reducing the lead to 2 - 4. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, J. Ismadiyarov got himself booked. The manager of AUN was not happy. After 62 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave R. Isufi a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 2 - 5. H. Bakhtiar 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 J. Lamiaux but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. The crowd gasped as G. M�sz�ros of AUN was flattened by an opponent after 72 minutes and had to be carried off. R. Tyupin came in off the bench. With G. M�sz�ros no longer on the pitch, R. Tyupin became the new set pieces taker. D. Dzhumagaliyev was handed the AUN captain's armband. L. Wan Kang received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 73 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 6. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. This third goal completed a hattrick for L. Wan Kang. Grilled's N. Muthyala was shown a yellow card after 78 minutes for slicing down an opponent. L. Wan Kang wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 83 minutes into the game by M. bin Mohd Kassim. The referee announced 3 stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 2 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

Most important AUN player was D. Dzhumagaliyev. R. Tyupin on the other hand, had a terrible day. G. Dvorak performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand, H. Bakhtiar's play was disheartening.
