Real Saturn FC lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, a setup designed to provide defensive solidity through a lone holding midfielder while allowing fluidity and width in midfield and attack. The back four was expected to maintain a disciplined line, with full-backs supporting wide play and central defenders focusing on shutting down Marine FC’s forwards. The single defensive midfielder would act as a shield in front of the defence, breaking up opposition moves and distributing the ball efficiently. Ahead of him, four midfielders were tasked with both creative duties and pressing responsibilities, operating across the central and wide areas to link play with the lone striker leading the line. This striker’s role was to hold up the ball, exploit spaces behind the defence, and convert chances created by the midfield.
The players who impressed throughout the match included Weng J, Julian Puffer, Patrick Shih, Seng Bak Tang, Kwan Chien Chan, Yee Chard, Moca Hooi, Nabil Nabel, Kelvin Lim, Boon Shuay Lau, and Lee Wai Loon. Additional notable contributions came from Chin Heng, YY Then, and Aziem Aziem, all of whom were influential in various phases of the game.

At the 45-minute mark, the referee signalled half-time with the score level, reflecting the balanced nature of the contest. Both teams had demonstrated resilience and attacking threat, setting the stage for an exciting second half.
