Even 1 - 4 Grilled
545 spectators had come to Even FC Arena this cloudy day.
Lennart Leijnse was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Foppe Meijland and
Jakub Vojtěch. Even started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Lon-chan - Po-Fat, Chong-Bing, Tzs-Lun - Bhaskaran, Tronstad, Kroese, Palmer, Ho-Fai - Thanh-long, Kok-hei.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Bao-Tam - bin Che Lah, Tuan-Mu, Seng-Huat - Noor Yadah, Kek-Tjiang, Tellskär, Ju-Hau, Dai-Lin - Chiew-Yen, Reed.
Grilled took the lead after 12 minutes with 0 - 1.
Miguel Reed placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 18 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Chen Chiew-Yen who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 2. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. After 20 minutes, Grilled's
Aznan Noor Yadah swiftly ran past
Chen Tzs-Lun to put away the 0-3 goal. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 56 percent of possession.
Even's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 56 minutes into the match as
Loong Thanh-long ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 1 - 3. 68 minutes into the game,
Hang Bao-Tam had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Tomás Semprún Balenciaga. After 73 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Chen Chiew-Yen who increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 4. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 51 percent possession of the ball.
Even's best player was
Eric Palmer.
Bredo Tronstad was a disappointment, however. Grilled's best player was
Ma Dai-Lin.
Tomás Semprún Balenciaga on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
