ather conditions were fairly good for football, and The Cooking Pot saw a crowd turnout of 4558. Leif Sunesson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Juan Loret and Vidar Hansen. Grilled had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. Lineup: Seng - Awyong, Bakhtiar - Shaahee, 勇航 (Yonghang) , 力勇 (Liyong), bin Mohd Kassim, 福泉 (Fuquan) - Bellamoli, Lefébure, Wan Kang.

Aces tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Cano - Curiel, Fiol - Thiessen, España, Vidal, Carpintero, Sánchez - Siatama, Rodriguez, Iztueta.

0 - 1 was the score with 2 minutes played, after Claudio Darío Rodriguez cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Aces. 17 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as Víctor Elí Carpintero finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Víctor Elí Carpintero increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Aces lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 32 minutes into the game, Arley Siatama had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Rómulo Hugo Cáceres. After 34 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed Víctor Elí Carpintero to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. That made three goals for Víctor Elí Carpintero and he was marked down for the hat trick. After the ball was lifted in from the left, Claudio Darío Rodriguez was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 40 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Aces, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Still trailing on the score board, Grilled adjusted their tactics after 46 minutes. 凌 (Ling) 福泉 (Fuquan) had a quick chat at the side line, then switched positions with Shiya Shaahee. Leong Wan Kang of Grilled was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The home crowd was not impressed when Luis Carlos España came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 67 minutes. Aces were now up 0 - 5. Aces increased their lead after 77 minutes when Luis Carlos España broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. With a penalty awarded after 82 minutes, Grilled's Hilal Bakhtiar placed the ball low and to the keeper's right, impossible to block. 1 - 6. Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 88 minutes Hilal Bakhtiar made way for Walter Ross. 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) was the new captain of Grilled - handed the armband by the departing player. The bench was restless, and with 88 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave Rosendo Chinchay the opportunity the player had been hoping for. Yvan Lefébure reluctantly left the field. Aces claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

Grilled's best player was Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim. On the other hand, Dan Seng's play was disheartening. Armando Iztueta performed admirably for Aces. Gildardo Cano turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
