Jedinstvo clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Grilled clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Jedinstvo almost scored after a counterattack 4 minutes into the match, but
Håkan Mikaelsson took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The defensive line of Jedinstvo created a counterattack through the middle that gave
Max Tjädermo a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Grilled's
Lan Tuan-Mu got himself booked for a foul. Jedinstvo's
Dimitri Elflein got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 92 percent possession of the ball.
Jedinstvo showed their counterattack skill 51 minutes into the match, with
Amil Alickovic scoring uncontested for 1 - 0. 67 minutes in, Jedinstvo appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
inadequate. After 68 minutes, Grilled's
Lorenz Paullin swiftly ran past
Mirza Meskic to put away the 1-1 goal. After 74 minutes,
Bukhari Abd Hamid tired completely, but his teammates managed to cover for his mistakes. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 94 percent of possession.
As neither team had managed to win, extra time was called. Grilled's
Luis Alcántara refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 95 minutes. The result was still a draw, so the match had to be settled with penalties.
Jedinstvo's
Amil Alickovic made no mistake.
Hang Bao-Tam didn't have a chance. 2 - 1. Grilled's
