12000 punters turned up at LAVINO QUAY Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Bruce Katanga was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tore Jørgensen and Vicente Luna. LAVINO's lineup was: Chee Hao - Hock Boon, 泉晶 (Quanjing), bin Mohd Zain - bin Hussain, 海强 (Haiqiang), Yeow Kum, 勇麟 (Yonglin), Yeng Kian - 轩华 (Xuanhua), Ze Ze.

The following players had been chosen by Grilled: Germanakos - Mangoye, Webb - Teck Fu, Chitre, Kwang Tse, Khairul, Trindade - Ferzan, Ze Han, Reece.

The teams had chosen different formations for the match. Home team LAVINO QUAY went for 3-5-2 while Grilled Birds has decided to play a 2-5-3 lineup. Grilled took the lead 5 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Gilbert Webb was the scorer. With 17 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Chan Ze Han of Grilled to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. Rushanizam bin Mohd Zain looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball to 梁 (Liang) 轩华 (Xuanhua). The move caught everyone off-guard, including his teammate, who panicked and kicked the ball out of play by accident. Ang Hock Boon challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 24 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. Joe Reece increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. After 30 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Chan Ze Han who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Zhuang Ze Ze from LAVINO a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 31 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Egemen Dinçer Ferzan went down after twisting his left ankle after 32 minutes, and had to leave the pitch. This gave Prokop Mottl a chance to take to the field instead. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Grilled had most of the ball, with 69 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 0 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was Gandhik Chitre. The visitors' Joe Reece took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 56 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Grilled. Gandhik Chitre 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 Tan Chee Hao but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. Atang Mangoye would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Radovan Jaška entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 70 minutes. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. Mohsen El Khateeb came on for Gilbert Webb. Following a nasty collision in the 76, Grilled's Mohsen El Khateeb complained of a damaged shoulder. He was advised against continuing the game. Due to this disastrous turn of events, the team now had to finish the match with a reduced lineup. With the scoreboard showing that 80 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after Joe Reece came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. LAVINO refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, Rushanizam bin Mohd Zain managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 6. Wong Yeow Kum of LAVINO received a yellow card after 85 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Chan Ze Han received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 86 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 1 - 7. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for Chan Ze Han. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 4 minutes beyond the regular 90 minutes. LAVINO's 凌 (Ling) 泉晶 (Quanjing) startled 梁 (Liang) 轩华 (Xuanhua) with an unexpected pass. Unfortunately, the receiver was too stunned by the play to convert the perfect setup into a goal. The match ends 1 - 7. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

LAVINO's top performer was clearly 梁 (Liang) 轩华 (Xuanhua). However, 凌 (Ling) 泉晶 (Quanjing) made a disastrous appearance. Grilled's best player was Chan Ze Han. Prokop Mottl was a disappointment, however.
