Some great play up the middle by Grilled led to a chance for
Shen Kek-Tjiang to get the go-ahead goal after 9 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. 0 - 1 was the score with 16 minutes played, after Winning's
Reinold Mönkhof cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. Grilled's
Quah Han Kok was shown a yellow card after 17 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 32 minutes into the match, an alert
Quah Han Kok bagged the ball for Grilled, levelling the score to 1 - 1. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 57 percent of possession.
Grilled could have put themselves ahead after 72 minutes but
Ola Martinsson missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Grilled's
Dani Spirig tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. At 79 minutes played,
Lorenz Paullin came in from the right with the intention of giving Grilled the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Winning took the lead after 80 minutes with 1 - 2.
David Ashworth placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 57 percent possession of the ball.
Grilled's top performer was clearly
Shen Kek-Tjiang. On the other hand,
Jon Andrea Rottman's play was disheartening. Winning's top performer was clearly
David Ashworth.
Yin Van-Phuoc on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
