The visiting
Sándor Deme was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 5 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's
Peter Fjällbratt got himself booked. The corner kick from
Maikel Rotteveel set
Peter Fjällbratt up perfectly, as he soared to meet the ball, heading it in for 0 - 2. The game had been on for 29 minutes when
Maikel Rotteveel broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 0 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Grilled's
Nawaz Talib a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 31 minutes into the game. 38 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as
Fabian Bona finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.
The game had been on for 69 minutes when
Maikel Rotteveel broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.
The most dominating Changi player was without a doubt
Sha Shi-Wen.
Chi Chi-Wai on the other hand, had a terrible day. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Valdir Dias Paes. On the other hand,
Sándor Deme's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
