Grilled clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. 0 - 1 was the score with 22 minutes played, after Grilled's
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal. It was a bad day for the usually speedy
Roshadi bin Che Rusli. The mud seemed to slow him down. Grilled's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision!
Domenik Bögengang's resulting free kick was easily saved by the keeper.
Chow Ying Lee's lightning pace was too much for
Bogdan Hubka who could only look on as the Grilled player blasted one home. 0 - 2. The structure of the game started to change as Grilled decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. 33 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as

Valdir Dias Paes. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. 0 - 3 was the score after the first half. This half belonged to newbies, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.
