raffles seemed to prefer attacking in the middle.
Ola Martinsson gave Grilled the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. 5 minutes into the match Grilled's
Ulf Hjortlind head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. Grilled's
Ola Martinsson scored the 2 - 0 goal after 5 minutes by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent keeper no other option than to pick the ball out of the net. Grilled put themselves up 3 - 0 when
Ma Dai-Lin broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. raffles's
Berti Odenthal got himself booked for a foul. The Grilled player who had to be helped off the pitch, was
Au-Yong Siu-Yue as he was unable to finish the game.
Asher Stanton came in to finish the match.
Torbjörn Hulterberg had a lethal looking free kick that grazed the post after 23 minutes. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 71 percent of possession.
Grilled put themselves up 4 - 0 when
Ola Martinsson broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. By then
Ola Martinsson was a three time scorer - a hat trick! The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. After 64 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by
Jon Andrea Rottman might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However,
Karl-Gerd Fuchs made a spectacular save.
Ola Martinsson should probably have put his team up another goal after 73 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
Karl-Gerd Fuchs kept the visitors in the game. raffles's
Ferdinand Dahl left the field after 76 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was
Anders Lindhing. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 72 percent possession of the ball.
Most important Grilled player was
Zhan Ju-Hau.
Jon Andrea Rottman was a disappointment, however. Most important raffles player was
Berti Odenthal.
François Dechamps on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
