ArseVikings 5 - 0 Grilled
e 53124 spectators at The Arsebowl were in for an afternoon of sunshine.
František Mezík was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Dominique Nanninga and
Ville Myllys. ArseVikings tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Marques - Massenzio, Rahoua, Metzler, Vino - Aalbrecht, Fábregas, Klumsakul, van Steensel - 冲德 (Chongde) , Cabana de Bergantiños.
A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. Starters: Stacey - Tzonkov, Madaini, 俊桂 (Jungui) - Back, Fonseca, 长春 (Changchun), Dorogan - 勇航 (Yonghang) , bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee.
ArseVikings were relying on their ability to counter-attack. For their match strategy, Grilled had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 18 minutes, the ArseVikings coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach.
Abilio Cabana de Bergantiños of ArseVikings was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish
Qassem Madaini, which resulted in the 1 - 0 goal. Coming through the middle
Gleb Dorogan almost scored the equaliser for Grilled after 41 minutes, but
Otaviano Marques made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. A foul called during a ArseVikings counterattack resulted in a great chance to score, but
Cyril van Steensel's shot rattled off the post. The referee showed Grilled's
Slavcho Tzonkov the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. ArseVikings's counterattacks created a good chance for
Piergiuseppe Massenzio on the right, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.
After a short break in the 47 minute, ArseVikings seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. The intense heat forced
Chow Ying Lee into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. The bench was restless, and with 60 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave
Seytek Djekshenkulov the opportunity the player had been hoping for.
Slavcho Tzonkov reluctantly left the field.
Piergiuseppe Massenzio showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for ArseVikings after 64 minutes to make the score 2 - 0. ArseVikings solidified their lead at the 65 minute mark, as
Mario Vino manoeuvered the ball through the opposing central defence and finished for 3 - 0. Confident in their lead, ArseVikings's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. As
Gert Aalbrecht was substituted 66 minutes into the game, he could take comfort in the fact that his team was in the lead.
Gian Franco Marcheselli was the replacement.
Hamza Rahoua was handed the ArseVikings captain's armband. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased ArseVikings's lead to 4 - 0 as
Tanawit Klumsakul finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. After 70 minutes, the ArseVikings players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 72 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving
Erik Back completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side's keeper. With 75 minutes played,
林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui) had a fantastic opportunity to reply but his shot flew harmlessly into the side-netting of the goal.
邓 (Deng) 冲德 (Chongde) was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from ArseVikings's defence 76 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 5 - 0. With 85 minutes played, the Grilled coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around.
Li Boon Boon came on,
田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) had to leave the fray. Grilled held the ball, with a clear 54 percent of possession.
ArseVikings's top performer was clearly
邓 (Deng) 冲德 (Chongde) .
Otaviano Marques was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
Chow Ying Lee.
Li Boon Boon on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 0.
