Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Grilled. L1verpool made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left
Zou Yom-Keh completely alone with keeper
Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman, who made a spectacular block. After 7 minutes, L1verpool raised their score by one when
Kong Mun Hee's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by
Zou Yom-Keh. 1 - 0.
Nawaz Talib got left behind when L1verpool's
Zou Yom-Keh made a sudden pull forward after 18 minutes, finishing off with a swift strike. 2 - 0!
Cheong Wan Woon could have put L1verpool up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 27 minutes. 33 minutes into the game Grilled managed a counterattack, but
Dani Spirig took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. 38 minutes in, Grilled's
Nawaz Talib received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was
Kong Mun Hee. The L1verpool bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. This half belonged to L1verpool, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.
Nawaz Talib had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team's keeper
Lenny Offerman just wouldn't surrender. Good work by Grilled's defensive line produced a couple of good counterattack chances, one of which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found
Ola Martinsson alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. L1verpool enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.
L1verpool's top performer was clearly
Yin-Nam.
Kong Mun Hee was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Nawaz Talib. On the other hand,
Ola Martinsson's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
