Apocalipticos clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted in a goal after 16 minutes by
Sylweriusz Zywczyn for Grilled, putting them ahead 1 - 0. 18 minutes into the game, Grilled were awarded a penalty that
Sylweriusz Zywczyn turned into 2 - 0 without a problem. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. A lunatic dribble by
Dani Spirig, in front of his own keeper, set up Apocalipticos's
Marko Steffansson for an embarrassingly easy strike after 22 minutes. 2 - 1!
Maikel Rotteveel did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. There was concern in the stands when, at the 30 minute mark, Grilled's
Maikel Rotteveel hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 36 minutes,
Tobias Samuel broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper.
Brad Beckman made a great block, though. It was 2 - 1 at the break. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 72 percent possession of the ball.
With 56 minutes played, Apocalipticos's
Marko Steffansson fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Marko Steffansson for diving. Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 3 - 1 after 64 minutes. That made three goals for
Sylweriusz Zywczyn and he was marked down for the hat trick. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Maikel Rotteveel could have closed the game off after 65 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post.
Marko Steffansson knew he was in trouble after pulling back an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the Apocalipticos player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 73 percent of possession.
Grilled's best player was
Quah Han Kok.
Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob on the other hand, had a terrible day. Apocalipticos's best player was
Grzegorz Przybyła. On the other hand,
Ivan Nahuel Garfagnoli's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 1.
