Grilled tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Dias Paes - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Ãrva, Talib - MacKinnon, Branbilla, Han Kok, Spirig - Rotteveel, bin Ku Zainol.
Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Arrogancae had a good opportunity to take the lead as
Freerk Dorrepaal came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of
Valdir Dias Paes. Slack defending gave Arrogancae a chance to take the lead with 20 minutes played, but
Seyit Kerimov's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. With 25 minutes played, Grilled's
Subri bin Ku Zainol fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Subri bin Ku Zainol for diving. Grilled took the lead 34 minutes into the game, scoring the 0 - 1 goal after some elegant plays down the middle.
Subri bin Ku Zainol was the scorer. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Arrogancae, with an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.
After 72 minutes, Grilled's
Maikel Rotteveel burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Arrogancae had to make a substitution after 75 minutes.
Walter Nidetzky limped off the field and was replaced by
Niklas Pawellek.
Freerk Dorrepaal challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 76 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball combination. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. Grilled mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 77 minutes, but
Matthias Branbilla was unable to convert from short range. Arrogancae enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.
Arrogancae's best player was
Zmejko Nadzakov. However,
Niklas Pawellek made a disastrous appearance.
Valdir Dias Paes performed admirably for Grilled. However,
Dani Spirig made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
