Fractius 1 - 2 Grilled
09 spectators arrived at Fractius Dome, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Francisco Poveda was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Giorgos Xanthi and
Cornelius Riedl. Fractius had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Antunes de Carvalho - Markov, Gullblad, Persson, Bakke, Linwald - Lanez, Malet, Silva Monteiro, Thomas - Biben.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Huel-sheng - Alcántara, Tuan-Mu, Pakpao, Dewilde - Stanton, Noor Yadah, Kolesov, Blissenbach, Åhsten - Chiew-Yen.
Fractius clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Grilled were relying on their ability to counter-attack. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by
João Carlos Silva Monteiro. At last, Fractius's
Vilhelm Gullblad was able to shove the ball in. 1-0. The visiting team's
Chen Chiew-Yen was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 19 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. 20 minutes into the game,
Milen Kolesov was a hair's breadth away from giving Grilled the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by
Miguel Antunes de Carvalho saved the home team that time. Grilled's
Chen Chiew-Yen gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 31 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After the ball was lifted in from the left,
Milen Kolesov was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 33 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 60 percent possession of the ball.
Milen Kolesov was, after 54 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but home side's keeper
Miguel Antunes de Carvalho made the save.
Aznan Noor Yadah came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over
Miguel Antunes de Carvalho and it was a little too high and hit the bar. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 63 percent possession of the ball.
The most dominating Fractius player was without a doubt
Vilhelm Gullblad.
João Carlos Silva Monteiro on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Grilled player was
Aznan Noor Yadah.
Milen Kolesov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
