shootnsave seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Grilled. Grilled nearly produced a goal as
Zoltán Ãrva set up
Ciro Penati for a strike from a seemingly impossible angle. The receiver wasn't as clear-headed though, and put the shot wide. After a fine move down the middle
Ong Chao Jie nearly gave the home side a goal after 14 minutes. The finishing shot went just wide, though. Some things can only be learned through experience, and
Sándor Deme should take his lesson to heart after nearly giving shootnsave a goal with 21 minutes of the match played. The referee showed Grilled's
Nawaz Talib the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. They were singing the praises of
Haji bin Yusop 34 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from just outside the centre part of the opponent's penalty area found its way over the visitors keeper to make the score 1 - 0 for shootnsave. shootnsave's
