Feds 1 - 0 Grilled
ather conditions were fairly good for football, and Quebra-Coco Arena Stadium saw a crowd turnout of 3531.
Yazdgerd Parsivand was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Klaus Maeke and
Jacob Ulawski. Feds tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. They fielded: Meijdam - Zelaia, Gamboa, Stigén, Almaraz - Gütlbauer, Renattus, Oviparo, Neiva, de Paiva - Míka.
Grilled decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. Lineup: Silvera - 俊桂 (Jungui), Ross - Da Teck, Gudivada, Adabala, Boon Boon, Yong Yau - Azhari, 恒才 (Hengcai), bin Mohamad.
26 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. Scorer for Feds was
Edvard Stigén.
Vítor Luís Neiva of Feds was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 36 minutes, following yet another great corner,
Neo Da Teck knocked the ball to the limit of
Mayur Gudivada's reach, who just couldn't put it in the net. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Feds, with an impressive 73 percent possession of the ball.
Feds's
Zdeněk Míka wanted to play on, but 47 minutes into the game the decision was made to substitute him for
Leonida Pântea. With 75 minutes played, the Grilled coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around.
Qassem Madaini came on,
林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui) had to leave the fray.
Qassem Madaini was handed the Grilled captain's armband. Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 75 minutes
Walter Ross made way for
Vukota Crkvenjakov.
Teo Yong Yau of Grilled received a yellow card after 86 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 88 minutes, Grilled switched
唐 (Tang) 恒才 (Hengcai) with
范 (Fan) 修宇 (Xiuyu), hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 88 minutes in, Feds's
Leonida Pântea received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Feds enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 73 percent of possession.
Feds's top performer was clearly
Vítor Luís Neiva.
Eize Meijdam turned in a dismal performance, however. Grilled's best player was
范 (Fan) 修宇 (Xiuyu).
Alvaro Silvera was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
