Herron 0 - 2 Grilled
390 spectators had come to Sky Ocean this cloudy day.
Raphael Stocker was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Norberto Schleuniger and
Jessie Sepulveda. Herron had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Mohd Nadzir - Haupai, Å ekularac, Pető - Schreinerbauers, Eriksson, Zandberg, Yong-chul, bin Ib Berahim - Chit-Fu, Jähnisch.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Abed-Sulaiman - Zywczyn, Bona, Falkbo - van Liere, Siu-Yue, Kek-Tjiang, Rottman, Han Kok - Wai-Kin, Martinsson.
Herron saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Grilled took the lead 17 minutes into the game, scoring the 0 - 1 goal after some elegant plays down the middle.
Jörgen Falkbo was the scorer. With 29 minutes played,
Gábor Pető went down in a suspected penalty situation after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee, having a good line of sight, signalled to keep playing. Herron's
Gábor Pető made a successful breakthrough on the left after 29 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar.
Shu Chit-Fu really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by
Othman bin Ib Berahim after a corner. Herron's
Arngrim Schreinerbauers put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 34 minutes, but the ball went wide. Grilled's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Herron, with an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.
Shu Chit-Fu made a superb strike after 59 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Grilled's
Fabian Bona refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 70 minutes. 80 minutes in, the unpredictable
Hidde van Liere of Grilled fired a sudden long range shot that flew only inches wide of the post. The visitors'
Shen Kek-Tjiang took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and central backs 82 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Grilled. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Herron, with an impressive 54 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating Herron player was without a doubt
Abd Rauf Mohd Nadzir.
Othman bin Ib Berahim on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman.
Ola Martinsson was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
