Ulker-FC 3 - 1 Grilled
04 spectators arrived at QAYA, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Jonathan Ball was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Henrik Frenay and
Davide D'Alessandro. Ulker-FC had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Starters: Mehdizade - Bleß, Nahidzadə, Nygård, Shashkov - Kamalzadə, Fleming, Grouls, Canosa, İshaqzadə - Wheat.
Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Bao-Tam - Seng-Huat, Bona, Alcántara - Chowdhury, Fjällbratt, Jie Siong, Deme, Penati - Mirchev, bin Yaacob.
Ulker-FC were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. 20 minutes in, Ulker-FC appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
poor. Ulker-FC's
Namiq NahidzadÉ™ got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Grilled, as
Hang Bao-Tam left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match.
Cheung Huel-sheng took his place on the field. The Grilled captaincy was handed to
Fabian Bona. Many thought
Æliqulu KamalzadÉ™ ought to have been awarded a penalty shot 32 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around
Cheung Huel-sheng after a determined run through the middle. It was 0 - 0 at the break. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Ulker-FC, with an impressive 59 percent possession of the ball.
Ulker-FC's coach had an extra briefing during the break, and after that his players had
passable organization.
Mikayıl İshaqzadə's name was chanted throughout the stadium after his goal up the middle after 58 minutes gave Ulker-FC the 1 - 0 lead. 77 minutes into the game, Ulker-FC seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to
inadequate. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Ulker-FC's
Jørgen Nygård putting the lead up to 2 - 0. 86 minutes into the game, Ulker-FC had difficulty finding their positions and their organization dropped to
weak. The visitors replied 88 minutes into the game, scoring the 2 - 1 goal, as
Ciro Penati dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. 89 minutes in, Ulker-FC appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
poor. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Veniamin Shashkov could have closed the game off after 90 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Ulker-FC's
Jørgen Nygård putting the lead up to 3 - 1. Ulker-FC enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.
The most dominating Ulker-FC player was without a doubt
Wolfdieter Grouls. However,
Jørgen Nygård made a disastrous appearance.
Lee Jie Siong performed admirably for Grilled.
Luis Alcántara turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
