Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of SpartanxU. 13 minutes into the game, K. Kwang Heng had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. SpartanxU's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision! C. Tse Meng's resulting free kick was easily saved by the keeper. S. Jääskeläinen came close to putting the visiting team one up 17 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but F. Dettore managed to tip the ball to a corner. The sun seemed to put J. Silva Augusto in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. After 37 minutes, Se7en's K. Kwang Heng made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. A drive down the left side allowed K. Kwang Heng to get in close and score another goal for Se7en after 38 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. G. Morgado 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 Se7en lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. SpartanxU's M. Kwang Sze got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Se7en, with 73 percent of the ball.

M. Hanstedt left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 68 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. K. Leterrier was the replacement. The coach of Se7en was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 70 minutes, K. Karczewski came on for G. Morgado. J. Munik was handed the Se7en captain's armband. With 79 minutes played, R. Maaranen nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. SpartanxU had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 80 minutes, but F. Colosimo's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. The home crowd was not impressed when S. Luca came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 81 minutes. Se7en were now up 0 - 4. Se7en had most of the ball, with 73 percent of possession.

Most important SpartanxU player was M. Kwang Sze. C. Su Wan was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Se7en player was without a doubt J. Silva Augusto. On the other hand, J. Munik's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
