It seemed as though Grilled considered the game won before even taking the field, which resulted in a very uninspired start to the game. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of YoungGuns_United.
Pan Gan-Goo gave YoungGuns_United the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. 32 minutes into the game,
Peter Lied finished off a left wing counter attack, scoring 2 - 0 for YoungGuns_United. A bit later, Grilled's
Wilson Kearney easily reduced to 2 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. 35 minutes into the game Grilled's
Wilson Kearney found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. Halftime score was 2 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 52 percent possession of the ball.
YoungGuns_United's
Peter Lied tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Grilled's
Nui Pakpao got himself booked for a foul. YoungGuns_United were forced to a substitution as
Ma Chung-Sheng couldn't continue playing due to the rough treatment, forcing
Ya Sai-Yin to come in from the sidelines. A well placed corner kick from
Pan Gan-Goo was followed by
Tang Sie-Man's hard but accurate header. The nice combination marked a goal for YoungGuns_United, the score now 3-2. Grilled levelled the score after 82 minutes to make it 3 - 3, as
Lan Tuan-Mu struck home after a fine midfield combination through the middle, leaving him completely unmarked. After 82 minutes Grilled's
Lan Tuan-Mu limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue.
Lan Tuan-Mu had a good try after 82 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating YoungGuns_United player was without a doubt
Zhan King-Wah.
Peter Lied was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Daniel Tellskär. However,
Lan Tuan-Mu made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 3.
