Grilled 4 - 2 Jabaquara
e 6382 spectators at Gamma Stadium were in for an afternoon of sunshine.
Mattias Collund was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Arvid Falkflod and
Władysław Denkiewicz. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Huel-sheng - bin Che Lah, Seng-Huat, Siu-Cheung - Yew-Hoe, Noor Yadah, Blissenbach, Stanton, Ze - Hobson, Reed.
Jabaquara had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Correia - Seixas, Gao, Guimarães - de Cerqueira, Flakstad, Tavares Rodrigues, Paup, Camarinha de Arriaga - Lepsoo, Machado.
Jabaquara took the lead after 8 minutes with 0 - 1.
Fabiano Tavares Rodrigues placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. 20 minutes in, Grilled's
Weng Seng-Huat received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first.
Weng Seng-Huat behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 34 minutes as he gave the ball away to
Flavio Seixas. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. After 35 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Ivar Lepsoo who increased Jabaquara's lead to 0 - 2. 36 minutes into the game, Grilled's
Li Ze surprised the visitors with a raking cross-field pass to
Miguel Reed who easily found the back of the net, bringing the score to 1 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 56 percent possession of the ball.
After 51 minutes,
Kau Siu-Cheung got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Jabaquara's
Ivar Lepsoo got himself booked. After 63 minutes,
Tim Blissenbach made a dash down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the goal that made it 2 - 2.
Miguel Reed gave Grilled the lead with 3 - 2, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the keeper's right post. Jabaquara will have to do without
Mário Machado for a time, due to a bad foot injury at the 81 minute mark. He was substituted by
Ricardo Manuel Vale. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why
Nuno Camarinha de Arriaga found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. The home side's

Tim Hobson curled a free kick home after 83 minutes, putting Grilled ahead 4 - 2. After this, Grilled lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts.
Chai Yew-Hoe of Grilled received a yellow card after 83 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 65 percent of possession.
Most important Grilled player was
Aznan Noor Yadah.

Tim Hobson was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Jabaquara player was without a doubt
Nuno Camarinha de Arriaga.
Flavio Seixas was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
