Disaster struck PMC 5 mins into the game when a 50-50 challenge that caught Jem's ankle caused him to limp off the field. However, PMC continued to play well with Andrew and Dom holding the midfield. The first goal came when Yi Jun came running in from the far side of the left flank to head in a cross by Dom. PMC kept up the pressure throughout the first half and this time Lincoln found the back of net to make it 2-0 for PMC. However, Salvation Army was persistent in their attack and came back with a reponse to score right before half time, making 2-1.

Team PMC came in vigilant in the second half, determined to keep their one goal lead. The defence continued to hold their own against the Salvation Army counter parts. While the midfield continued to play well with Isaac and MK making good runs down the flank. PMC continued to hold possession of the ball and even make a couple of good attempts at goal. A great goal scoring opportunity came when Jeremy Tan took a shot at goal from close range, only to see it come off the crossbar. While PMC missed many good chances, Salvation Army managed to capitalise on theirs. A loose ball that was not picked out in the PMC defence gave the opponent's striker a clear shot at goal to make it 2-2. PMC did not want to let the game go to penalties and continued to pressure the Salvation Army defence and sending more players up. Breakthrough came when a decisive touch by Dominic from a long ball saw the ball roll into the net and put PMC back in the lead. It was a soft goal but a goal nonetheless. PMC continued to keep the ball until the referee blew the final whistle. It was smiles all round at the end as team PMC moves on to the next round of the SCS cup.
