Grilled 4 - 3 Geylang
936 spectators arrived at Gamma Stadium, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Otmar Schuh was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Jolyon Kruit and
Wiebe Crijns. Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Bao-Tam - Alcántara, Tuan-Mu, Dewilde - Noor Yadah, Kek-Tjiang, Ju-Hau, Tellskär, Dai-Lin - Stern, Hjortlind.
Geylang tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Adkins - Gustavsson, Fui-Gna, Ojala - Yueh-shiou, Thiam-Loy, Ditã, Ho-Sung, Udrescu - Jie-Quan, Ser-Kiat.
Geylang took the lead after 10 minutes with 0 - 1.
Tsai Jie-Quan placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 24 minutes of play,
Ulf Hjortlind equalised for Grilled after an elegant attack from the right. With 27 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
Luo Ser-Kiat put the ball away for 1 - 2. After 27 minutes Grilled's
Aznan Noor Yadah limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The referee showed Geylang's
Tsai Jie-Quan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by
Aznan Noor Yadah. At last, Grilled's
Lan Tuan-Mu was able to shove the ball in. 2-2. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 52 percent possession of the ball.
After 49 minutes
Joe Stern made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to
Ulf Hjortlind who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 3 - 2. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Grilled's lead to 4 - 2 as
Luis Alcántara finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. 58 minutes into the game,
Lan Tuan-Mu had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Kau Siu-Cheung. Geylang fought on and, after 62 minutes,
Iulian Udrescu was able to reply with the 4 - 3 goal after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip. When
Tsai Jie-Quan made yet another studs-first tackle after 67 minutes, the referee was obliged to book the Geylang player for the second time, sending him off the pitch. 69 minutes into the game,
Ngake Adkins had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Niklas Myrbeck. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Daniel Tellskär. However,
Kau Siu-Cheung made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Geylang player was without a doubt
Jin Thiam-Loy.
Seppo Ojala was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 3.
