A scorching day at Pondok At Gangsa Road, where 2812 spectators were in place for today's match. Ludovic Geneste was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Julien Dubosc and Renátó Fáy. For some players the sunny weather was bad news. It made Powerful and Quick players a bit sluggish. For Technical players, it was instead an advantage, allowing them to shine on the pitch. The following players had been chosen: Deplancke - Kwang Yeow, Puig De La Bellacasa, Phadke - Yong Li, Kamsani, Krupakaran, Lefik, Choon Huat - Godoroja, Rumph.

Starters: Serpin - Trung Quá, Abdul Majid, 入江 (Irie), Tran - Panigrahi, Mudaliar, Ze Han, Parvathaneni, Egan - Mottl.

The teams had chosen different formations for the match. Home team Budak Pondok (BP) went for 3-5-2 while Grilled Birds has decided to play a 4-5-1 lineup. Grilled took a titanic creative approach on the field. The visiting Kalki Parvathaneni was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 4 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. Rahul Kamsani fired a shot from distance after 37 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Pondok. Bernie Egan increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. 40 minutes into the match, Prokop Mottl came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Pondok caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 41 minutes into the match. Rahul Kamsani was able to finish off the move - 1 - 2. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.

After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving 雄輝 (Yuki) 入江 (Irie) off the field. Jérémy Tarin took his place. 46 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Pondok substitution. Izman Mohammad Zaman came on for Rajinikanth Krupakaran. The visitors' Dante Tran took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 47 minutes into the match. 1 - 3 for Grilled. 49 minutes in, Pondok's Lau Kwang Yeow received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled increased their lead after 56 minutes when Bernie Egan broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. 62 minutes into the game, Pondok wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Koh Yong Li gave Endre Marx a quick hug as he left the field. Kalki Parvathaneni was, after 64 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper Victor Deplancke made the save. Chang Choon Huat would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Yu Kum Chin entered the game for Pondok as the match clock showed 65 minutes. Victor Deplancke got a fingertip on Prokop Mottl's shot from the left 73 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. The visitors almost increased their lead after 76 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. As the 80 minute mark approached, the Grilled coach decided it was time for a substitution. Prokop Mottl reluctantly made way for José Luiz Velho on the pitch. It was announced by the referee that he estimated stoppage time to be around 2 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 1 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

Pondok's best player was Antoniu Godoroja. On the other hand, Sreenath Phadke's play was disheartening. Kalki Parvathaneni performed admirably for Grilled. However, Eren Serpin made a disastrous appearance.
