Shadow 1 - 3 Grilled

Giovanni Manaresi. Shadow started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Borglind - Norheim, Eric, Pettersson - Pérez, Raskborg, Larsson, Jansson, Lien-Ying - Hsien-Feng, Zheng-Rong.

Grilled had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 28 minutes in when
Ola Martinsson came up alone against
Dan Borglind who managed a block. The referee showed Shadow's
Ming Hsien-Feng the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 42 minutes into the game, a swerving free kick by
Chye Lien-Ying almost resulted in the home team taking the lead, but the shot glanced harmlessly off the frame of the goal. After 42 minutes, Grilled put themselves up by 0 - 1, as
Ulf Hjortlind finished off a strike from the left with a real cannon placed at the far post. 43 minutes into the game,
Ming Hsien-Feng came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. 44 minutes in, and Shadow was able to score the equalising 1 - 1 goal when
Mats-Erik Jansson 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 claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

Dan Borglind saved
Ola Martinsson's shot that was headed for the top corner from the right. Grilled's

Ma Dai-Lin at the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by
Ola Martinsson, scoring the 1 - 2 goal for Grilled. 72 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 3 as
Ulf Hjortlind finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.
The most dominating Shadow player was without a doubt
Ming Hsien-Feng.
Cheung Zheng-Rong on the other hand, had a terrible day. Grilled's best player was
Zhan Ju-Hau.
Lan Tuan-Mu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
