Grilled 8 - 1 FCB
brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 3007 to The Cooking Pot.
Pero Gambiroža was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Viktor Constantin and
Ad Murdoch. Grilled decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Beckman - Zywczyn, Bona, Talib - van Liere, Jie Siong, Han Kok, Spirig, Fjällbratt - bin Ku Zainol, Rotteveel.
A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for FCB. Lineup: Drakahrust - Kuin, Rebić, Nikadzimau - Nassonau, Conte, Skomra, Lesiński - Kabrynovich, Marçal, Herscott.
Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The terraces were silenced after 19 minutes when FCB's
Paweł Skomra put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Grilled's
Peter Fjällbratt was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 23 minutes. The incalculable
Hidde van Liere of Grilled did everything right as he set up
Peter Fjällbratt for a goal after 27 minutes. Unfortunately, the strike missed its target. After 28 minutes,
Maikel Rotteveel made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 1 - 1. It wasn't a pretty goal, but the free kick by
Sylweriusz Zywczyn after 32 minutes somehow found its way past the keeper. Grilled takes the lead, 2-1! FCB's
Ryszard Lesiński was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Grilled put themselves up 3 - 1 when
Lee Jie Siong broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him.
Siarhej Nassonau nearly reduced 43 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by
Brad Beckman put a stop to the attempt coming in from the right flank. It was 3 - 1 at the break. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 70 percent of possession.
A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Grilled's lead to 4 - 1 as
Sylweriusz Zywczyn finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The home side's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn curled a free kick home after 55 minutes, putting Grilled ahead 5 - 1. That made three goals for
Sylweriusz Zywczyn and he was marked down for the hat trick.
Quah Han Kok didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. 69 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Dani Spirig dashed through, knocking home 6 - 1 for Grilled. Grilled solidified their lead at the 73 minute mark, as
Maikel Rotteveel manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 7 - 1. Grilled added another goal to their lead as
Subri bin Ku Zainol struck home the 8 - 1 goal after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn got himself booked for a foul. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 70 percent possession of the ball.
Quah Han Kok performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand,
Peter Fjällbratt's play was disheartening. FCB's best player was
Paweł Skomra. However,
Vice Rebić made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 8 - 1.
