Upright Stick of Justice started the game in a 5-4-1 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 3-5-2 formation. The head of
Vikram Mudaliar connected with a corner kick after 7 minutes, and the ball ended up with
Prokop Mottl of Grilled who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 0 - 1. After the ball was lifted in from the left,
Prokop Mottl was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 19 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. 20 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as
Bernie Egan finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The visitors'
Moey Xin Seng took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 23 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Grilled. Grilled came close to extending their lead as
Bernie Egan delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 35 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. After 38 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Chan Ze Han who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.
As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled coach decided it was time for a substitution.
Islom Davlatov reluctantly made way for
Chu Xin Lee on the pitch.
Prokop Mottl increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. 75 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Chan Ze Han gave
José Luiz Velho a quick hug as he left the field. The referee showed Upright's
Teh Chee Ze the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
Kalki Parvathaneni of Grilled took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 78 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6.
Isaac Tanguturi had to face the wrath of his coach after he accidentally slipped the ball into his own goal. 0 - 7.
Chu Xin Lee dispatched a majestic long shot 83 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. Grilled's
Chu Xin Lee was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box -
Bernie Egan managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 8 after 86 minutes. After 87 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) off the field.
雄輝 (Yuki) 入江 (Irie) took his place. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 3 minutes beyond the regular 90 minutes. The match ends 0 - 8. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 71 percent of the ball.
Upright's top performer was clearly
Jörn Buschke. On the other hand,
Perfecto Otero's play was disheartening. Most important Grilled player was
Moey Xin Seng.
雄輝 (Yuki) 入江 (Irie) turned in a dismal performance, however.
