Grilled 3 - 0 Xings
014 spectators arrived at The Cooking Pot, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Jonas A. Bokfeldt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
José Ramón Agudo and
Mathias Ziep. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Alcántara, Bona, Falkbo - van Liere, Siu-Yue, Rottman, Kek-Tjiang, Stanton - Langeland, Martinsson.
Xings had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. They fielded: bin Mohd Idrus - Stângã, Uliński, Guerrero, Sackmann - Equilbey, McAvinchey, Chavero - Thomas, Delgado, Aarts.
Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Xings. Grilled's
Ola Martinsson tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. After 35 minutes of play,
Ola Martinsson gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 78 percent possession of the ball.
Grilled put themselves up 2 - 0 when
Ola Martinsson broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. Xings breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 54 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. 64 minutes into the match,
Ola Martinsson could have extended the lead, but his very hard free kick went just over the bar.
Bogdan Stângã behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 70 minutes as he gave the ball away to
Asher Stanton. Lucky for him though, there was no goal.
Ola Martinsson increased Grilled's lead to 3 - 0, putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. This third goal made a hat trick for
Ola Martinsson. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 78 percent of possession.
Grilled's best player was
Au-Yong Siu-Yue.
Luis Alcántara was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Xings player was without a doubt
Gérald Equilbey.
Dominik Uliński on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
