Hattrick 6 - 0 Grilled
546 spectators arrived at National Stadium, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Tomas Hasselmo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Kai Hebel and
Mink Brion. Hattrick had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Alley - Strassburger, Magnusson, Ben Mohammed - Rosblom, Taipale, Preda, Kyhlbom, Kerry - Lennartsson, Donát.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Harlow - Falkbo, Spirig, Bona - Jie Siong, Siu-Yue, Han Kok, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin - Langeland, Martinsson.
Hattrick mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Grilled immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. Hattrick's
Árpád Donát tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. The referee showed Hattrick's
Gogu Preda the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A free kick aimed at the keeper's far post almost gave Grilled the lead 25 minutes in, but the ball just wasn't able to squirm its way through the defensive wall.
Peter Andreas Strassburger gave Hattrick the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. At this time in the match, Grilled were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents.
Quah Han Kok really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by
Fabian Bona after a corner. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Hattrick held the ball, with a clear 56 percent of possession.
54 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Anders Lennartsson dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for Hattrick. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Hattrick's
Jakob Taipale putting the lead up to 3 - 0. The structure of the game started to change as Hattrick decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Árpád Donát squirmed himself through their central defence after 68 minutes, bringing the lead to 4 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Hattrick's lead to 5 - 0 as
Anders Lennartsson finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. After 79 minutes, Hattrick's
Sten Rosblom swiftly ran past
Fabian Bona to put away the 6-0 goal. With 81 minutes played,
Lorenz Paullin had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Hattrick, with an impressive 57 percent possession of the ball.
Most important Hattrick player was
Eric Alley. However,
Sten Rosblom made a disastrous appearance. Most important Grilled player was
Shen Kek-Tjiang.
Lee Jie Siong was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
