Ola Martinsson as he dodged past on his way to scoring a wonderful goal for Grilled - 1 - 0! 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 80 percent.
The home side's
Sylweriusz Zywczyn curled a free kick home after 49 minutes, putting Grilled ahead 2 - 0. 59 minutes into the match Grilled's
Ulf Hjortlind viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. After 66 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by
Quah Han Kok might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However,
Timmy Jastrup made a spectacular save. Grilled's
Jon Andrea Rottman had an excellent opportunity after 76 minutes, shooting on a through ball down the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! A great pass from the defensive line of lcfc resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by
Tino Jähnig in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 79 percent.
Shen Kek-Tjiang performed admirably for Grilled.
Luis Alcántara turned in a dismal performance, however. lcfc's top performer was clearly
Neo Nie How. However,
Azahar bin Mohd Idrus made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
