Spectators: 8510 (Terracing: 6375, Seating: 1955, VIP seats: 180) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ron Lee kicked off to start the match. When Alam Laycock fell near the penalty area in the 8th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Wivenhoen's protests and gave Alam Laycock a yellow card for diving instead. In the 8th minute, Alam Laycock hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 9th minute, Rifki Soon sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Wivenhoen's Iskandar Cho didn't even have to move. In the 23rd match minute, Wivenhoen was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alam Laycock to maneuver through the defense. Rifki Soon, 23 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Aziz Swee sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Merlin Tee was a little too slow when Alif Dyce got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 30th minute. The score was now 1-0. Alif Dyce received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Merlin Tee tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Amirul Chien-Kwan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Iskandar Cho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 73rd minute Alif Dyce shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Merlin Tee saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Alif Dyce managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Merlin Tee breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 81 minutes into the game, Mohammad Chien-Kwan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
