Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Titus immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. Grilled could have put themselves ahead after 18 minutes but
Lorenz Paullin missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 37 minutes into the game,
Tang Mei-Kuen was a hair's breadth away from giving Titus the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by
Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman saved the home team that time. With 38 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
ZhangCai Han-Jet put the ball away for 0 - 1.
Sylweriusz Zywczyn pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 40 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away.
Cao Wai-Kin gave Grilled the lead with 2 - 1, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 63 percent of possession.
With 53 minutes played,
Ola Martinsson could have brought this one home for Grilled as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. 60 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
Ola Martinsson dashed through, knocking home 3 - 1 for Grilled. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's
Cao Wai-Kin putting the lead up to 4 - 1. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Shen Kek-Tjiang squirmed himself through their central defence after 76 minutes, bringing the lead to 5 - 1. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Fabian Bona squirmed himself through their central defence after 78 minutes, bringing the lead to 6 - 1. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 63 percent of possession.
Most important Grilled player was
Shen Kek-Tjiang.
Jörgen Falkbo on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Titus player was without a doubt
Tang Chien-Hui.
Shen Tu-duc was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
