Singapore created a good opportunity to score 85 minutes into the match when Vaios Rodostoglou'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. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.
