Tim Hobson. 23 minutes into the game, Hou-United seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
disastrous level of organization.
Ni Zhong-Loon got left behind when Grilled's
Bert Persson made a sudden pull forward after 31 minutes, finishing off with a swift strike. 2 - 0! Halftime score was 2 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 62 percent possession of the ball.
The Hou-United players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a
divine organization. Hou-United breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 48 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. With 84 minutes played,
Daniel Tellskär 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. Grilled added another goal to their lead as
Lan Tuan-Mu struck home the 3 - 0 goal after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. A well placed corner kick from
Sven Jansson was followed by
Weng Mun-tung's hard but accurate header. The nice combination marked a goal for Hou-United, the score now 3-1.
Per Palmman was suffering from cramps and had difficulty keeping up as the opposition pushed forward.
Xing Hua had no problems getting through and hit home the 4 - 1 goal. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Hou-United's
Sven Jansson got himself booked. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 56 percent of possession.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Lan Tuan-Mu.
Peter Magnusson on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Hou-United player was
Ni Zhong-Loon.
He Man-Young was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 1.
