Razer 1 - 2 Grilled
000 spectators arrived at Coliseum d'Hauts Esprits, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
James Treacy was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Saner Ürem and
Laurids Dybdal. Razer tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Jiao-Long - Tellbrant, Wee-Hwa, Feuchter - Winckler, Shen, Kitrattana, Tsu-Yee, Chin Aik - Mun-Nee, Hellell.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Abed-Sulaiman - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Talib - Jie Siong, Han Kok, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin, van Liere - Rotteveel, Simon.
Razer used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. The guests took the lead 2 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in
Maikel Rotteveel scoring the 0 - 1 goal. 27 minutes in, Razer's
Zou Tsu-Yee received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. At this time in the match, Razer were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents. 32 minutes in, and Razer was able to score the equalising 1 - 1 goal when
Shen Mun-Nee picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 51 percent of possession.
53 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but
Dimitri Simon, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide.
Foo Chin Aik of Razer was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 1 - 2 was the score with 79 minutes played, after Grilled's
Han Lik-Tsun cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.
Mak Jiao-Long performed admirably for Razer. On the other hand,
Shen Mun-Nee's play was disheartening. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Han Lik-Tsun.
Lee Jie Siong on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 2.
