ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Henry Park saw a crowd turnout of 1934.
David Wright was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Dejan Schuablin and
Per Dahl. FLESIANS tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Andersson - Ek-Chuah, Chi-Shing, Su Fu - Barrera, Kai-Chung, Jiading, bin Ahmad - Yunos, Åhman, Ze Shi.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Bao-Tam - bin Che Lah, Pakpao, Siu-Cheung, Seng-Huat - Fernández Riviera, Spirig, Noor Yadah, Paullin, Barbour - Hobson.
FLESIANS were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Grilled took the lead after 37 minutes with 0 - 1.
Aznan Noor Yadah placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. A well placed corner kick from

Tim Hobson finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Grilled's
Nor Suhaimi bin Che Lah got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 86 percent possession of the ball.
Earl Barbour was, after 65 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but home side's keeper
Alf Andersson made the save. 65 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as
Aznan Noor Yadah finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 93 percent.

Zou Chi-Shing.
