The Gay Village
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) 10 minutes into the match, The Gay Village's goal looked a bit too open when Bryan Boon came free, but Albert Amin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Albert Amin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bryan Boon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Darren Ning during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 19th minute, Darren Ning hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of Crystal Palace United booed when The Gay Village was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ronn Tee didn't get a good kick on the ball. Darren Ning received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Albert Amin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Afriz Chien-Kwan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Aziz Lim tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 45th minute Bryan Boon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Albert Amin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Famih Nagasaki struck a weak shot in the 52nd minute. Albert Amin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Crystal Palace United. After a rather tough play, Crystal Palace United's Fariz Gopala Pillai got a free kick in the 56th minute. Bryan Boon scored 0-1 in the 60th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Albert Amin, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Afriz Chien-Kwan might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Aziz Lim. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Afriz Chien-Kwan ran back to his position shaking his head. Aziz Lim showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ronn Tee in the 69th minute of the match. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Crystal Palace United walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
