ercast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 1115 at Melkhii Khad today. Dariush Esmi Zadeh was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Albin Kühn and Zlatko Filák. Gorkhi started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Qorchi - Vachir, Suren, Suren - Koke, Qorin, Damdinsuryn, Taban, Buandelgereen - Belgutai, Tolui.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Bao-Tam - 辉洪 (Huihong) , bin Mohamed, Seng-Huat, Deme - 剑勇 (Jianyong) , Mirchev, 平正 (Pingzheng), 川城 (Chuancheng) - Hjortlind, bin Yaacob.

Gorkhi took the lead 11 minutes into the game by 1 to 0, as Munkhbayar Tolui elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. The home side's Amarsanaa Buandelgereen came close to extending the lead 16 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but Hang Bao-Tam managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Grilled's 佘 (She) 平正 (Pingzheng) a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 23 minutes into the game. After 23 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Gorkhi found themselves out of position and their organization level dropped to inadequate. Amarsanaa Buandelgereen gave Gorkhi supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0 after 24 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Amarsanaa Buandelgereen squirmed himself through their central defence after 26 minutes, bringing the lead to 3 - 0. Grilled's Mohd Firdaus bin Yaacob got himself booked for a foul. Ganbold Suren behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 34 minutes as he gave the ball away to Ulf Hjortlind. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Cheers filled the stadium as Ganbold Suren broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the 4 - 0 goal for Gorkhi. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Gorkhi enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

During the break, Gorkhi's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organization. Gorkhi's Ganbold Suren had an excellent opportunity after 67 minutes, shooting on a through ball down the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! After 68 minutes, Gorkhi sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached Munkhbayar Tolui, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot and score the 5 - 0 goal. After this, Gorkhi lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. When 佘 (She) 平正 (Pingzheng) made yet another studs-first tackle after 80 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the Grilled player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. Weng Seng-Huat knocked the corner to Ivaylo Mirchev who had the whole net open before him, but his attempt hit the post. Gorkhi's Dalan Damdinsuryn was delighted to score the 6 - 0 goal after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing after 82 minutes. With 89 minutes played, Gorkhi put themselves up 7 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Amarsanaa Buandelgereen, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By then Amarsanaa Buandelgereen was a three time scorer - a hat trick! The Gorkhi free kick 89 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But there was an idea to it - the misdirected ball was turned into a cross towards Woblin Qorin, who was waiting for it in the box. That's 8 - 0! Don't forget to thank the assistant coach for that gem of a routine! This half belonged to Gorkhi, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

Dash Belgutai performed admirably for Gorkhi. Mangu Qorchi was a disappointment, however. Grilled's best player was 范 (Fan) 川城 (Chuancheng) . Hang Bao-Tam on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 8 - 0.
