United 0 - 1 Grilled
ather conditions were fairly good for football, and East Coast Dome saw a crowd turnout of 7000.
Jochen Waldinger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Peter Davis and
Benjamín Iracorri. United tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Shi-Fu - bin Ma’rup, Han-Wu, Ha-bi, You-Yi - Keng-Huat, Jae-Yung, bin Ahmad, Yung-En - Koon-Hiong, Ren-Qing.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Huel-sheng - Pakpao, Alcántara, Tuan-Mu - Ze, Tellskär, Yew-Hoe, Blissenbach, Åhsten - Hobson, Reed.
Daniel Tellskär came close to putting the visiting team one up 18 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but
Lin Shi-Fu managed to tip the ball to a corner. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's
Li Ze got himself booked. With 22 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience,

Tim Hobson was a hair's breadth away from giving Grilled the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by
Lin Shi-Fu saved the home team that time. With 25 minutes played, Grilled's
Daniel Tellskär fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Daniel Tellskär for diving. After 34 minutes United's
Haji Abdullah bin Ahmad contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 70 percent of possession.
Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 63 minutes into the match left Grilled's
Peter Ã…hsten completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. 72 minutes in, United's
Zou Yung-En received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 77 percent of possession.
The most dominating United player was without a doubt
Lin Shi-Fu.
Bi Koon-Hiong was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Daniel Tellskär.
