ouds darkened the skies at See Mee Lan Park as 72072 spectators turned up for the match.
Grzegorz Pacławski was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Vuksan Doroslovački and
Marco Maioli. CCP had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Takacs - Barilari, Broeils - Aik Leng, bin Mamud, bin Abu Bakar, Chang De, Daday - bin Yusop, Sans, Bottino.
A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. They fielded: Dias Paes - Crkvenjakov, Behr, 俊桂 (Jungui) - Back, Kim, Pujolràs, Lefébure - bin Mohd Kassim, Bögengang, Ying Lee.
Grilled were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Grilled had a good opportunity to score the lead goal but the home team's goalkeeper
Rene Takacs saved
Kyou-Chull Kim's shot that was headed for the top corner from the right. Grilled's
Kyou-Chull Kim gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 35 minutes with a superb strike from the right. CCP had to make a substitution after 39 minutes.
Haji bin Yusop limped off the field and was replaced by
孟 (Meng) 嘉俊 (Jiajun). 0 - 1 was the halftime score. CCP claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.
CCP's
孟 (Meng) 嘉俊 (Jiajun) placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but
Wong Chang De couldn't finish. 73 minutes into the match, the technically gifted
Quirze Sans of CCP scored 1 - 1, having made
Yvan Lefébure look like a complete fool.
Ronny Behr would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Gleb Dorogan entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 73 minutes. Making his way up the middle 74 minutes into the match,
János Daday almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert
Valdir Dias Paes blocked it to keep the score level. The home side put themselves ahead 2 - 1 after 78 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from
János Daday, who, unaided, came in from the right wing hooking the ball over the visitors' keeper. CCP held the ball, with a clear 57 percent of possession.
Wong Chang De performed admirably for CCP. On the other hand,
孟 (Meng) 嘉俊 (Jiajun)'s play was disheartening. Grilled's best player was
Domenik Bögengang.
Gleb Dorogan was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
