scorching day at Coliseum d'Hauts Esprits, where 76521 spectators were in place for today's match.
Tarquinio Nardella was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Dean Van Speybroeck and
Mats Cedertorp. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Razer. Lineup: Jiao-Long - Tellbrant, Wee-Hwa, Patel - Mun-Nee, Tsu-Yee, Kitrattana, Shen, Seeberg - Hellell, Payer.
Grilled started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Abed-Sulaiman - Fredgård, Bona, Zywczyn - Spirig, Han Kok, Kek-Tjiang, Paullin, van Liere - Kadak, Martinsson.
The home keeper expected a move to the right, but
Sylweriusz Zywczyn surprised him with a free kick aimed the other way 3 minutes into the match. 0 - 1 for Grilled. Grilled's
Hidde van Liere got himself booked for a foul. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.
Grilled's
Jaan Kadak received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 59 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 2 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when
Zou Tsu-Yee tried to sneak the ball past the keeper.
Ahmed Abed-Sulaiman was too alert for that! Grilled held the ball, with a clear 51 percent of possession.
Razer's top performer was clearly
Weng Shen.
Thomas Tellbrant was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Shen Kek-Tjiang. However,
Dani Spirig made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
