3 minutes in, Grilled appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
inadequate. GBR created a good opportunity to score 11 minutes into the match when
Örjan 'Pavan' Falkenstål's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted in a goal after 12 minutes by
Peter Hansen for GBR, putting them ahead 1 - 0. After 18 minutes Grilled's
Daniel Tellskär limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. GBR claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.
The Grilled players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a
divine organization. With 54 minutes played, Grilled's
Zhan Ju-Hau fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Zhan Ju-Hau for diving.
Nils Thorkvist almost managed to score another goal for GBR, coming from the right, but his header was tipped to a corner by the visitors' keeper. 62 minutes in, GBR's
Tomek Krysiuk received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The forty-five minutes were dominated by GBR, with an impressive 72 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating GBR player was without a doubt
Ma Zhong-Yan.
Cheng Shiu-Hun on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Asher Stanton.
Shen Kek-Tjiang was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
