Grilled 4 - 3 Hattrick
050 spectators arrived at The Cooking Pot, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Christian Kvale was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
David Montesinos and
Reinder Cleton. Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Bao-Tam - Dewilde, Pakpao, Alcántara - Stanton, Kek-Tjiang, Noor Yadah, Siu-Yue, Dai-Lin - Martinsson, Hjortlind.
Hattrick started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: bin Mustaffa - Tein-min, Magnusson, Menon - Rosblom, Dawson, Preda, Olsson, Kerry - Lennartsson, Pilholt.
It was an obvious ambition of Hattrick to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Grilled broke through on the left 26 minutes into the game, with
Ola Martinsson firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The referee showed Hattrick's
Lars Pilholt the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Hattrick managed, after 35 minutes, to even the score at 1 - 1 with a lucky free kick by
Chetas Menon. Somehow the ball squirmed its way through the defensive wall! Hattrick took the lead after 35 minutes with 1 - 2.
Lars Pilholt placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's
Au-Yong Siu-Yue got himself booked. The game had been on for 37 minutes when
Michael Olsson broke through on the right, upping the score for Hattrick to 1 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. After this, Hattrick lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. Hattrick's
Michael Dawson got himself booked for a foul. Grilled's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 41 minutes into the match as
Ola Martinsson ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 2 - 3. Halftime score was 2 - 3. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.
Grilled's
Ola Martinsson had a hard, curved free kick after 68 minutes that would have paid off, had it gone just a little lower. After a fatal mistake from the away team's right side defence 70 minutes into the match, an alert
Johan Dewilde bagged the ball for Grilled, levelling the score to 3 - 3. Grilled took the lead 85 minutes into the match after a magnificent free kick by
Ola Martinsson that made the score 4 - 3. By then
Ola Martinsson was a three time scorer - a hat trick! Hattrick got a chance to level the score as
Anders Lennartsson suddenly found himself free with only the 'keeper to beat, but the finishing shot hit the bar. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Aznan Noor Yadah.
Nui Pakpao on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Hattrick player was without a doubt
Michael Dawson. However,
Carl Kerry made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 3.
