Spectators: 8024 (Terracing: 6020, Seating: 1845, VIP seats: 159) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Felix Keng got the match started through his kick off. If Gerard Ning had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The supporters of Middlesbrough booed when Tekong Blues Dragons was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 18 match minutes in a wonderful position. Daniz Ning didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Famih Lim struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Ron Choy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Middlesbrough.

The wind increased when Gerard Ning made the kick off in the second half. Famih Lim received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Ron Choy tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Alam Kang was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience was convinced that Felix Keng's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ron Choy was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Daniz Ning in the 66th minute of play forced Middlesbrough's goalkeeper Alam Kang to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Middlesbrough's Alex Yeo got a free kick in the 77th minute.

Gerard Ning sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Daniz Ning sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 91st minute, Lamar Kang hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 92 minutes into the match, Middlesbrough's goal looked a bit too open when Daniz Ning came free, but Alam Kang reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
