Shadow were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Grilled immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. 19 minutes into the game, Grilled had difficulty finding their positions and their organization dropped to
passable. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Shadow's
Chye Lien-Ying somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for
Cao Long, who struck for 1 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Shadow claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.
The Grilled players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a
divine organization. There wasn't much opportunity for rapid movements on this wet day, which hindered
Stefan Raskborg in particular. At this time in the match, Grilled were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents. A cross coming in on the right hand side left
Asher Stanton alone in front of the goal after 83 minutes but his shot was woeful. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled had difficulty finding their positions and their organization dropped to
inadequate. Shadow held the ball, with a clear 56 percent of possession.
The most dominating Shadow player was without a doubt
Mats-Erik Jansson.
Ameya Bhardwaj was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Daniel Tellskär.
Nui Pakpao on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
