Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Punishers. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave Grilled the lead 1 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall.
José Antonio Escudero knocked one home from a counter-attack down the right wing, making the score 1 - 0 after 9 minutes. The referee showed Punishers's
Liu Qing-Hong the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 22 minutes into the game Grilled's
Shen Kek-Tjiang found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 1 - 1. A badly positioned defensive formation on a free kick after 25 minutes led to Grilled's
Ola Martinsson giving the visitors the lead 1 - 2. Halftime score was 1 - 2. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 68 percent of possession.
The away team's
Luis Alcántara took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 64 minutes which increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 3. With 69 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 1 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Ola Martinsson. Grilled's
Shen Kek-Tjiang got himself booked for a foul. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 68 percent.
