e weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 47854 had shown up at Avengers Apocalypse for the match.
Pancrazio Fagà was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
António Sabino and
Gregor Liebhauser. Arrogancae decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Nadzakov - Silva Godói, Nidetzky, van Schie - Hansen, Sales, Kerimov, Ferreira - Dorrepaal, Valiardo, Sorokin.
Grilled started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Dias Paes - Zywczyn, Lik-Tsun, Árva, Talib - Spirig, MacKinnon, Branbilla, Han Kok - bin Yaacob, bin Ku Zainol.
Arrogancae was clearly looking ahead to the next match rather than focusing on the one at hand. For their match strategy, Grilled had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 4 minutes, following yet another great corner,
Cornelus van Schie knocked the ball to the limit of
Freerk Dorrepaal's reach, who just couldn't put it in the net. Arrogancae's
Roberto Valiardo tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders.
Freerk Dorrepaal's speed was clear to see after 19 minutes as he darted past his marker and struck an opening pass to
Roberto Valiardo who scored the 1-0 goal. After 25 minutes,
Luís André Silva Godói put Arrogancae ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. Arrogancae solidified their lead at the 26 minute mark, as
Roberto Valiardo manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 3 - 0. Arrogancae's
Seyit Kerimov got himself booked for a foul. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 52 percent possession of the ball.
A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Arrogancae's
Einar Hansen putting the lead up to 4 - 0. By now, Arrogancae were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. After 63 minutes, Grilled's
Zoltán Árva fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. Grilled kept trying to force their way through on the right side and
Subri bin Ku Zainol got his chance after 70 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.
Arrogancae's best player was
João Ferreira. On the other hand,
Luís André Silva Godói's play was disheartening.
Quah Han Kok performed admirably for Grilled. However,
Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
