Warriors 2 - 5 Grilled
000 punters turned up at Spiderweb Dungeon, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.
Sofus Jensen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Kjell Rønning and
Andrea Cigada. Warriors started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Novotný - Moreno, Mosstrand, Geller - Bukleev, Rayner, Ugolini, Gardelliano, Creus - Holm Pedersen, Linca.
Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Harlow - Tuan-Mu, Bona, Pakpao - Stanton, Paullin, Han Kok, Spirig, Barbour - Martinsson, Hjortlind.
Warriors used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field.
Lan Tuan-Mu got left behind when Warriors's
Gavriil Bukleev made a sudden pull forward after 1 minutes, finishing off with a swift strike. 1 - 0! Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Grilled's
Ola Martinsson put the ball in the net after 23 minutes to make it 1 - 1. 25 minutes in, Warriors's
Francisco Moreno received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled were forced to a substitution as
Quah Han Kok couldn't continue playing due to the rough treatment, forcing
Hidde van Liere to come in from the sidelines. Warriors's ability to press their opponents all over the field paid off frequently. Grilled had a good opportunity to score the lead goal but the home team's goaltender
Hugo Novotný saved
Ulf Hjortlind's shot that was headed for the top corner from the right. Warriors's
Oriol Creus was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box -
Rasmus Holm Pedersen managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 2 - 1 after 34 minutes. 34 minutes into the game Grilled's
Lan Tuan-Mu found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 2 - 2. Halftime score was 2 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 72 percent possession of the ball.
Ola Martinsson delivered a good free kick from an excellent position 48 minutes into the game, but luck wasn't on Grilled's side this time and the ball went wide. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 60 minutes allowed
Lorenz Paullin to score the 2 - 3 goal for Grilled. After 76 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Ulf Hjortlind who increased Grilled's lead to 2 - 4. Warriors will have to do without
Giorgio Ugolini for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 77 minute mark. He was substituted by
Tor Löytöläinen. Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Grilled goal after 79 minutes, making it 2 - 5.
Ola Martinsson was noted down as the scorer. After 82 minutes of game time,
Ulf Hjortlind had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but
Hugo Novotný was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner. Warriors had to make a substitution after 85 minutes.
Jorge Vicente Gardelliano limped off the field and was replaced by
Peter Lövkvist. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 78 percent possession of the ball.
Most important Warriors player was
Alex Mosstrand. However,
Peter Lövkvist made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Fabian Bona. However,
Hidde van Liere made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 5.
