Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Grilled. Clever play that showed his experience gave
Jimmy Nederwald a good chance to score, but the shot hit the crossbar.
Markus Hultander gave Winning the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 41 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when
Cao Wai-Kin tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Winning's lead to 2 - 0 as
Yin Van-Phuoc finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. The structure of the game started to change as Winning decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. After an industrious effort down the middle,
Nikos Avramidis could have closed the game off after 45 minutes, but his finishing shot hit the post. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Winning claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.
With 51 minutes played,
Markus Hultander could have brought this one home for Winning as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Winning's lead to 3 - 0 as
Zang Kai-Chung finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. 62 minutes into the match, Grilled replied and reduced the lead to 3 - 1.
Jon Andrea Rottman scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. 81 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
