24 spectators had found their way to 36 FC Arena, despite the heavy rain.
Mats Colsjö was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Sérgio Caldeira and
Ayasha Abu-Jaber. 36 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Gardner - Milin, Asla, Leu - Persson, Cohen, Teh-Wei, Koumaditis, Pãun - Gillissen, Português.
Grilled tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Bao-Tam - bin Che Lah, Tuan-Mu, Seng-kar, Seng-Huat - Stanton, Borup, Han Kok, Spirig, Olaru - Chiew-Yen.
Grilled clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. After 10 minutes of play,
Gilbert Gillissen gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. After 11 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by
Salvador Português might have resulted in another goal for 36. However,
Hang Bao-Tam made a spectacular save. After 17 minutes,
Thanassis Koumaditis put 36 ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in 36's
Anders Persson putting the lead up to 3 - 0. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Jérémy Cohen could have closed the game off after 34 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. 39 minutes in, Grilled appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
solid. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. 36 claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.
The Grilled players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a
solid organization.
Jérémy Cohen should probably have put his team up another goal after 58 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
Hang Bao-Tam kept the visitors in the game.
Dragos Olaru of Grilled received a yellow card after 62 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Thanassis Koumaditis could have closed the game off after 64 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. 73 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when Grilled's
Dragos Olaru received his second yellow card and was sent off. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Gilbert Gillissen squirmed himself through their central defence after 80 minutes, bringing the lead to 4 - 0. The structure of the game started to change as 36 decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. The forty-five minutes were dominated by 36, with an impressive 57 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating 36 player was without a doubt
Jérémy Cohen.
Salvador Português on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Grilled player was
Asher Stanton.
Gao Seng-kar on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
