The 50992 fans in attendance at Stadia de H.A.K.E. were roasting in the hot sun. Óscar Prieto was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Witthaya Yoon and Nikolaj Agger Pedersen. Kelana tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. Starters: Wyszkowski - Anzalone, Buyens, Corneliussen, Mrđen - Romano, Nijs, Teodorović - Ting Min, Kuan Chi, Shun Soon.

Scorton had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Rane - Leng Yun, Soon Loong, Chun Chun, Luqmanul Hakim - Jian Choon, Voica, Parada, Deuchar - bin Muhamad, Yi Kiong.

Kelana clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Kelana's counterattacks created a good chance for I. Mrđen on the right after 3 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Kelana mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 19 minutes, but E. Corneliussen was unable to convert from short range. 34 minutes into the game, P. Kuan Chi finished off a Kelana left wing counterattack, making the score 1 - 0. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Scorton, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

P. Rane was caught napping as B. Buyens lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. The home crowd was dismayed when the referee called a penalty for Scorton after 52 minutes. T. Yi Kiong calmly took the shot and scored. The game was level at 1 - 1. P. Kuan Chi of Kelana was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With the clock showing 75 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Kelana resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by Y. Shun Soon in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Scorton claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

Kelana's top performer was clearly S. Ting Min. K. Nijs was a disappointment, however. P. Rane performed admirably for Scorton. T. Soon Loong on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
