2-5-3 was the choice of the day for both coaches.
Grilled showed off their
mythical creative tactics. Despite hurting his right foot at the 18 minute mark,
Jerome Uwamahoro decided to keep playing.
Claude Mukankomeje caught everyone off guard with a great opening pass - but unfortunately
Celso Laconi was as surprised by the move as anybody else, and managed to miss the extraordinary opportunity. After 38 minutes,
Grilled's
Aw Keng Chuan made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. The home crowd was not impressed when
Lim An Keng came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 43 minutes.
Grilled were now up 0 - 2. After 43 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Mohd Marzuki Khairul a chance to increase the lead for
Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 3.
Leisure refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle,
Gasore Habimana managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 3.
Hwang Teck Fu increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 4. 1 - 4 was the score after the first half.
Grilled had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.
Dimitris Germanakos would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Dahan Bok entered the game for
Grilled as the match clock showed 46 minutes. One of many good crosses from
Jean Murekatete on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by
Francois Nshimiyimana, who scored for
Leisure. 2 - 4 60 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 5 as
冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. With 66 minutes played,
Chia Kwang Tse of
Grilled fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving.
Grilled increased their lead after 70 minutes when
Hwang Teck Fu broke through on the right, upping the score to 2 - 6, much to the home crowd's dismay. 89 minutes into the game,
Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Damian Hutter gave
José Luiz Velho a quick hug as he left the field. After 89 minutes, the
Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
Chad Thach off the field.
Chan Ze Han" class="awayplayer">
Chan Ze Han took his place. The referee announced 3 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 2 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to
Grilled, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.
Most important
Leisure player was
Francois Nshimiyimana.
Grilled's top performer was clearly
Hwang Teck Fu.
