Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas FC Barca Singapore lined up in a 3-5-2 constellation. Underestimation of the opposition made Singapore players perform way below their normal capacity. Grilled clearly preferred using their divine ability to attack in the middle. Singapore took the lead 15 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. J. Ove was the scorer. Grilled's A. Leong Kum refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 22 minutes. Grilled had to make a substitution after 35 minutes. 悠. 中北 (Nakakita) limped off the field and was replaced by M. Saliman. With 40 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Singapore resulted in a counterattack that set M. Tze Seng free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 42 minutes into the match, an alert G. Dvorak bagged the ball for Grilled, levelling the score to 1 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, L. Hui Ah got himself booked. The manager of Singapore was not happy. M. Saliman gave Grilled the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 53 percent of the ball.

Singapore were facing an uphill battle in the second half, but at least they had now understood that they were not going to get anything for free in this game. R. Isufi didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. Singapore levelled the score after 52 minutes to make it 2 - 2, as J. Ávila struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. 70 minutes into the game, Singapore wanted to bring some new energy to their game. M. Tze Seng gave M. Smirnov a quick hug as he left the field. Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile J. Ove. 74 minutes into the match and the home team took a 3 - 2 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Grilled was 雄. 入江 (Irie). Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Singapore's G. Weidl was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 77 minutes. 關. 寬志 (Kuanzhi) was given a chance to change things around. The visiting team's L. Hui Ah was able to score the 3 - 3 equaliser with a header 82 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. Grilled fans held their breath as R. Isufi scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 4 - 3! J. Ove tied the game at 4 - 4 after 83 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. After 85 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving R. Isufi off the field. M. bin Mohd Kassim took his place. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 3 minutes of added time they, nonetheless, welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. The match ends 4 - 4. Singapore enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . However, G. Filippone made a disastrous appearance. Most important Singapore player was H. Niamuddin. E. Crean turned in a dismal performance, however.
