Arrogancae 4 - 2 Grilled
ouds darkened the skies at Melanie and Chong GOOD KICK Arena as 125678 spectators turned up for the match.
Catello Mozzon was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Edvards Vurčs and
Belmiro Thompson. The match took place on neutral ground. A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Arrogancae. They fielded: Nadzakov - Nidetzky, Silva Godói, van Schie - Kerimov, Celeste, Sales, Ferreira - Sorokin, Dorrepaal, Valiardo.
Grilled decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Dias Paes - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Árva, Talib - Edmond, MacKinnon, Spirig, Han Kok - Rotteveel, bin Ku Zainol.
It was an obvious ambition of Grilled to use their ability at attacking on the flanks.
Cornelus van Schie gave Arrogancae the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post.
Zoltán Árva got left behind when Arrogancae's
Freerk Dorrepaal made a sudden pull forward after 37 minutes, finishing off with a swift strike. 2 - 0! 39 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Rui Manuel Celeste dashed through, knocking home 3 - 0 for Arrogancae. A lovely rush by Arrogancae's
Freerk Dorrepaal past
Han Lik-Tsun should have resulted in a goal, but the finish was just wide. A great save by keeper
Valdir Dias Paes after 42 minutes kept the visitors in the game after
Kike Sales struck from the left with a real cannonball. Grilled reduced the score after 44 minutes to 3 - 1 as
Subri bin Ku Zainol easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. Arrogancae enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.
A bit later, Grilled's
Dani Spirig easily reduced to 3 - 2 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. Arrogancae will have to do without
Kike Sales for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 54 minute mark. He was substituted by
Ibrahim bin Abu Bakar. Proving his experience,
Freerk Dorrepaal scored 4 - 2 for Arrogancae after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical moment. After 72 minutes, following yet another great corner,
Subri bin Ku Zainol knocked the ball to the limit of
Sandy Edmond's reach, who just couldn't put it in the net. 74 minutes in, Grilled's
Dani Spirig received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Arrogancae claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.
Most important Arrogancae player was
Zmejko Nadzakov.
Luís André Silva Godói on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Valdir Dias Paes.
Sylweriusz Zywczyn turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
