The teams had chosen different formations for the match. Home team Grilled Birds went for 2-5-3 while Haha has decided to play a 4-5-1 lineup. Aw Keng Chuan hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Grilled's Chan Ze Han an easy chance to knock it in for 1 - 0. Adham Nedal finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 1 - 1 41 minutes into the match. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

46 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. Phua Ming Xin came on for Chan Ze Han. The Grilled captaincy was handed to Teo Chuan Yong. 46 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Teo Chuan Yong gave Radovan Jaška a quick hug as he left the field. As Teo Chuan Yong left the field, the coach signaled to Radovan Jaška to be the new set pieces taker. Brian 'Was Born' Reddy became the new Grilled captain. After 60 minutes, the Haha coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Konrad Wawer off the field. Danial bin Nali took his place. Under heavy pressure after 86 minutes, the inexperienced Grilled struggled to maintain their level of play. After the regular 90 minutes, the agony of extra time followed. Grilled had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that Grilled had solid (7) organisation. 97 minutes into the game, Adham Nedal had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. Still tied after extra time, the crowd was buzzing as the teams prepared for a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.

Grilled's Phua Ming Xin kept his cool as he faced down César Gurruchaga. His composure paid off as he scored easily for 2 - 1. Haha's Chua Ze Xin was relaxed as he smoothly put the ball in the net. 2 - 2! When it comes to placing a ball precisely, Gandhik Chitre is a real wizard. He put it safely away for Grilled to make the score 3 - 2. Boy, does Danial bin Nali of Haha know how to treat a football or what?! He's curled that shot past the keeper and into the top corner of the goal - a great penalty! 3 - 3. Grilled's Hwang Teck Fu cockily booted the ball with a short-and-fast instep. The penalty, going just wide of the mark, didn't produce a goal. Oh, the sweet feet of technical Max Kandlhofer... His left one gave Haha a lovely goal. 3 - 4. Grilled's Paulino Trindade didn't look like he was confident as he stepped up, and produced a badly struck penalty - right into the arms of César Gurruchaga. The score remained 3 - 4. Haha's Syamsir Indra Putra showed he has nerves of steel when it comes to penalties, easily changing the score to 3 - 5. The match ends 3 - 5. Most important Grilled player was Aw Keng Chuan. Radovan Jaška was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Haha player was without a doubt Max Kandlhofer. On the other hand, Kok Min Tse's play was disheartening.
