Pkgrinders 9 - 0 Grilled
ouds darkened the skies at Meat Grinder as 3991 spectators turned up for the match.
Albert Mutný was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Waldek Kaczkowski and
Mirosław Szwejkowski. Pkgrinders decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Lineup: Renner - Haufe, Montereggi, Valio - Pigni, RáÄek, Wiesenstock, Remiar - Buchbinder, Schintgen, Semakov.
Grilled started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Bao-Tam - 辉洪 (Huihong) , Seng-Huat, Chuan Heng, bin Othman - è¾¾è£ (Darong) , bin Mustapa, Mirchev, 剑勇 (Jianyong) - Hjortlind, bin Yaacob.
Pkgrinders took the lead after 12 minutes, as a result of
Otto Buchbinder's awkward, but ultimately successful, shot from the right. 1 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors.
Renato Pigni squirmed himself through their central defence after 15 minutes, bringing the lead to 2 - 0. Many in the crowd felt the referee was being too lenient when he only showed Pkgrinders's
Eduard Remiar a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 16 minutes into the game. Pkgrinders's
VÃt RáÄek had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 20 minutes having been played.
Tinus Korthals was the replacement. With 34 minutes played,
Otto Buchbinder could have brought this one home for Pkgrinders as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. Pkgrinders were given a penalty 35 minutes into the match - neatly put away by
Dethlef Schintgen. 3 - 0 for the home side. Confident in their lead, Pkgrinders decided to play a more defensive game at this point. Grilled's
Ulf Hjortlind left the field after 37 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was
Abd Jamil bin Mohd Yusof. Pkgrinders solidified their lead at the 38 minute mark, as
Ephraim Haufe manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 4 - 0. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Pkgrinders claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 87 percent.
The home side's
Dethlef Schintgen curled a free kick home after 50 minutes, putting Pkgrinders ahead 5 - 0. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Pkgrinders's
Ludwig Wiesenstock putting the lead up to 6 - 0. After 68 minutes, a deliberate handball from Pkgrinders's
Eduard Remiar was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off.
Gian Maria De Leo was called on to replace Pkgrinders's
Tinus Korthals after 81 minutes following a nasty collision. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Pkgrinders's lead to 7 - 0 as
Oleg Semakov finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. Pkgrinders added another goal to their lead as
Otto Buchbinder struck home the 8 - 0 goal after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. Pkgrinders managed to extend their lead to 9 - 0 when
Oleg Semakov cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Grilled kept trying to force their way through on the right side and
胡 (Hu) 剑勇 (Jianyong) got his chance after 85 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. Grilled's
Abd Jamil bin Mohd Yusof was shown a yellow card after 87 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Pkgrinders enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 82 percent of possession.
Pkgrinders's top performer was clearly
Oleg Semakov. On the other hand,
Gian Maria De Leo's play was disheartening.
胡 (Hu) 剑勇 (Jianyong) performed admirably for Grilled.
Weng Seng-Huat was a disappointment, however. The match ends 9 - 0.
