Angel 0 - 0 Grilled
466 spectators arrived at Beat of Angel Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Hugo Gstrein was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Fernandinho Baretto and
Nicanor Suárez. All of
West was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Angel. Starters: Sapir - Bjerrum, Freituxe, Czwakiel - Arenile, Chang Sun, Santa-Maria, 晓赋 (Xiaofu) , Heuvel - Ying Eng, Carballo.
Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Dias Paes - Árva, Behr, Talib - Penati, Branbilla, Han Kok, MacKinnon - Rotteveel, Bögengang, bin Mohd Kassim.
Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Grilled. Angel had a chance to take the lead on
Zenón Freituxe's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled away as his shot went just over the bar after 2 minutes.
Tan Ying Eng really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by
Gregorio Arenile after a corner. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Angel enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.
Angel created a good opportunity to score 51 minutes into the match when
Alan Carballo'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. Angel were very close to putting themselves one up after 70 minutes as
Tan Ying Eng got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. This half belonged to Angel, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.
Angel's top performer was clearly
Mi Chang Sun.
Janusz Czwakiel was a disappointment, however. Grilled's best player was
Valdir Dias Paes. On the other hand,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
