Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Amir Low got the match started through his kick off. When the match clock showed 3 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Jonathan Chew sped through Bradford City's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Shafiq Lim. After 9 minutes Bradford City's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Alam Tian who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Alam Tian got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Shafiq Lim quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Danish Nair in the 14th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Shafiq Lim saved Bradford City from getting behind. Danish Nair did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 2-0 to the left of a surprised Shafiq Lim 18 minutes into the match. If Jonathan Chew had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Shafiq Lim took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Danish Nair, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Samuel Tan fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bradford City's protests and gave Samuel Tan a yellow card for diving instead. Combe Martian United were awarded a corner in the 33th minute after Bradford City's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Alam Tian took the corner. A very nice done corner allowed Zak Namasivayam to score against Shafiq Lim in Bradford City's goal. 3-0 after 33 minutes. Wei Xuan Chong fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Shafiq Lim having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Bradford City's Shafiq Abisheganaden got a free kick in the 41st minute. The supporters of Bradford City booed when Combe Martian United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alam Tian didn't get a good kick on the ball. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Danish Nair to make the kick off. Amir Low received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Alex Shyan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Danish Nair in the 55th minute of play forced Bradford City's goalkeeper Shafiq Lim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 57th minute Wei Xuan Chong shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Shafiq Lim saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Wei Xuan Chong sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Danish Nair might have been able to make a better finish in the 66th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Shafiq Lim. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Danish Nair ran back to his position shaking his head. The throw-in from Dale Hsin in the 75th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Combe Martian United's Gabriel Boon. Gabriel Boon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 77th minute, Danish Nair got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Shafiq Lim didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Danish Nair went, in the 79th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-0 was the resulting score. Combe Martian United's Zak Namasivayam pulled a muscle in his back after 82 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Amir Low's late challenge caught a Combe Martian United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Amir Low helped the player get up and apologised. Combe Martian United's Zak Hian was substituted for Zak Namasivayam. Amir Low hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. Faizal Choy charged in rather forcefully in the 88th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Faizal Choy the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Combe Martian United's Faizal Choy got a free kick in the 88th minute. When the match had gone on for 90 minutes, Amir Low took a quick shot and it went in 4-1 without a chance for Alex Shyan to make any attempt to save it. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Combe Martian United had played much better football throughout.
