Grilled 4 - 1 Geostarz
638 spectators arrived at The Cooking Pot, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Kevin Lems was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Robby Vandendriessche and
Milton Koffmann. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Alcántara, Pakpao, Dewilde - Dai-Lin, Siu-Yue, Stanton, Kek-Tjiang, Noor Yadah - Martinsson, Langeland.
Geostarz had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Schelotto - Wichmann, Öhin, Koi-Yu - Cheuk-Man, Zheng-Qi, Kwee-Lee, Ming-Hoa, Ekenbo - Jong-Seok, Andersson.
Geostarz mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. 5 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. Scorer for Grilled was
Ola Martinsson. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's
Ola Martinsson putting the lead up to 2 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Au-Yong Siu-Yue squirmed himself through their central defence after 9 minutes, bringing the lead to 3 - 0. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. Geostarz had to manage with a reduced squad after 10 minutes, as
Huang Ming-Hoa got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. A well placed corner kick from
Le Cheuk-Man was followed by
Jin Koi-Yu's hard but accurate header. The nice combination marked a goal for Geostarz, the score now 3-1. With 27 minutes played,
Aznan Noor Yadah could have brought this one home for Grilled as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 1. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 72 percent of possession.
55 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Au-Yong Siu-Yue dashed through, knocking home 4 - 1 for Grilled. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Geostarz's
Stigbjörn Ekenbo got himself booked. After 70 minutes Grilled's
Jan Langeland contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Jan Langeland could have closed the game off after 72 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 72 percent of possession.
Most important Grilled player was
Shen Kek-Tjiang. However,
Nui Pakpao made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Geostarz player was without a doubt
Fabio Schelotto.
Jin Koi-Yu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
