Thorocozzieq 2 - 0 Grilled
scorching day at Thorocozzieq FC Arena, where 100000 spectators were in place for today's match.
Peter Agerskov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Freddi Endt and
Shelton Mahan. The derby had been the talk of
West all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Thorocozzieq started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Spiżewski - Pessina, DoÄŸruer, Zufferey - 光匀 (Guangyun) , bin Ali, Berthold, Feng Han, bin Wan Ahmad - AntolÃnez, Canales.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Dias Paes - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Talib - Jie Siong, MacKinnon, Paullin, Spirig, van Liere - bin Ku Zainol, Rotteveel.
What was
Dani Spirig thinking? That's what everyone wondered when, for no apparent reason, he shot a cross pass over his own penalty area, giving
Stacey Canales an extra chance, but unfortunately for Thorocozzieq, he didn't get the shot right. The guests almost went up by a goal after 17 minutes when
Maikel Rotteveel came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. 20 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Thorocozzieq to take the lead after a good centering pass from the right found
Antonio David AntolÃnez alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Thorocozzieq, with an impressive 59 percent possession of the ball.
The corner kick from
Stacey Canales set
William Pessina up perfectly, as he soared to meet the ball, heading it in for 1 - 0.
Stacey Canales had a fantastic opportunity to put Thorocozzieq up another goal 51 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Grilled had to manage with a reduced squad after 52 minutes, as
Lee Jie Siong got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action.
Mohd Atiq bin Ali increased Thorocozzieq's lead to 2 - 0, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. The home side's
Stacey Canales came close to extending the lead 82 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but
Valdir Dias Paes managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Thorocozzieq, with an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball.
Most important Thorocozzieq player was
Antonio David AntolÃnez. On the other hand,
Rashid bin Wan Ahmad's play was disheartening. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Valdir Dias Paes. On the other hand,
Sylweriusz Zywczyn's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
