Vikram Mudaliar could have put his team up another goal 79 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. 王 (Wang) 群雄 (Qunxiong) twisted his arm after 84 minutes, forcing Tanjong to make a substitution. Mohd Marzuki bin Jamil tried to hide a smile as he entered the field. He had not expected to get a chance this day. Bernie Egan increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 8. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for Bernie Egan. After 85 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Chan Ze Han to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 9. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 4 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 0 - 9. Grilled had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

Zhuang Ze Ze performed admirably for Tanjong. Mohd Marzuki bin Jamil was a disappointment, however. Grilled's best player was Bernie Egan. Bhavya Panigrahi turned in a dismal performance, however.
