A header from
Tang Mei-Kuen connected with a corner kick after 16 minutes, and the ball ended up with
Tang Chien-Hui of Titus who shot home the 0-1 goal. The visitors'
Tang Chien-Hui took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and central backs 28 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Titus. Titus's
Chan Dae-Young received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 36 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 3 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. After 37 minutes,
Asher Stanton had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for Grilled with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. A marvellous Grilled effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 38 minutes by
Jan Langeland, making the score 1 - 3.
Asher Stanton almost put the reducer away having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 55 percent of possession.
Zulharisan bin Jantan enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. Titus's
Yue Wee-Cheong got himself booked for a foul. The referee showed Titus's
Mohd Sofi bin Yusof the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. After 76 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Zulharisan bin Jantan who increased Titus's lead to 1 - 4. After this, Titus lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. With 79 minutes played, Titus's
Bing Kong-Phay fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Bing Kong-Phay for diving. Grilled's
Ola Martinsson had a nice free kick routine after 79 minutes that was very close to paying off, had it not been for a dramatic save by the visitors' keeper. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Asher Stanton.
Nui Pakpao on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Titus player was without a doubt
Zulharisan bin Jantan.
Bing Kong-Phay on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
