mythical ability to play creatively.

solid skill at pressing their opponents. 1 minutes into the game,

Hannes Gust took over free kick duty.
Ingo Alsen was handed the
Rangers captain's armband.
Grilled took the lead after 8 minutes as a result of
Mohd Marzuki Khairul's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0.
冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but
Lim An Keng seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. With 19 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after
Ingo Alsen came through the middle, but his shot went wide. The gifted
Mohsen El Khateeb snatched the ball from his opponent, and threaded a precise pass up the pitch!
Grilled almost scored after a counterattack 20 minutes into the match, but
冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The pressing tactics used by
Rangers were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. After 30 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
冬馬 (Toma) 田宮 (Tamiya) gave the
Grilled supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0.
Mohd Marzuki Khairul acted with superior experience when, 33 minutes into the match, he predicted a pass, intercepted it and then finished off with a goal. 3 - 0 for
Grilled!
Rangers's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends.
Paulino Trindade increased the lead for
Grilled to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Halftime score was 4 - 0.

46 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a
Grilled substitution.
Dahan Bok came on for
Radomil Marcol.
Grilled's
Hwang Teck Fu swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. With 64 minutes played,
Grilled's
Chad Thach almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net.
Grilled's
Chia Kwang Tse increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 79 minutes. It emerged that
Martin Lichtinghagen had hurt his right foot after 82 minutes, which led him to abandon the game. The player that took his place was
Christopher Schweden. Coming in on the left,
Donatello 'Pizzaiolo' Piccolo did everything right to get a goal for
Rangers after 83 minutes, but his finishing shot was stabbed clear by the keeper. At this time in the match,
Rangers were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. After 89 minutes, the
Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
Damian Hutter off the field.
José Luiz Velho took his place.
Chad Thach would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
