Oscar Muñoz. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Dias Paes - Zywczyn, Talib, Lik-Tsun - Han Kok, MacKinnon, Paullin, Jie Siong, Spirig - Rotteveel, bin Ku Zainol.
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Razer. The following players took the field: Jiao-Long - Feuchter, Patel, Tellbrant - Chin Aik, Brandenberg, Tsu-Yee, Shen, Winckler - Kitrattana, Payer.
Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. It was obvious that Razer were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Making his way up the middle 36 minutes into the match,
Maikel Rotteveel almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert
Mak Jiao-Long blocked it to keep the score level. 39 minutes in, Grilled's
Nawaz Talib received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 41 minutes in, the referee awarded Grilled a penalty.
Sylweriusz Zywczyn coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. 43 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Subri bin Ku Zainol dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Grilled. 44 minutes into the match, the speedy
Quah Han Kok easily outpaced
Thomas Tellbrant to knock in the 3-0 goal. It was 3 - 0 at the break. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.
Razer pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Grilled's
Quah Han Kok a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 76 minutes into the game. 78 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Lorenz Paullin dashed through, knocking home 4 - 0 for Grilled. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Grilled's lead to 5 - 0 as
Quah Han Kok finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. With 84 minutes played, Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn tried to nail the coffin shut, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 63 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Valdir Dias Paes.
Sylweriusz Zywczyn on the other hand, had a terrible day. Razer's best player was
Zou Tsu-Yee. However,
Thomas Tellbrant made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.
