Heaven 0 - 5 Grilled
aven started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: bin Talib - Deygas, Benbassat, Siong Woon - bin Ashaari, 晓华 (Xiaohua), 尚轩 (Shangxuan), bin Mohd Nor, bin Mohd Dom - Chu Ah, Wee Kwang.
Grilled tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Stacey - Fonseca, Tzonkov, Lefébure - Iten, bin Jantan, 尊文 (Zunwen), 长春 (Changchun), Djekshenkulov - bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee.
Heaven tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 2 minutes into the match left Grilled's
Paolo Iten completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Grilled's
Chow Ying Lee got himself booked for a foul. Had it not been for one of the home defenders,
Slavcho Tzonkov would have put Grilled up another goal 9 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. With 13 minutes played, a phenomenal play on the left side freed
Chow Ying Lee, of Grilled, to dash through and score another goal for the visitors. The score was then 0 - 2. Heaven players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. 19 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as
Chow Ying Lee finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Grilled lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The home crowd was not impressed when
Chow Ying Lee came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 27 minutes. Grilled were now up 0 - 4. That made three goals for
Chow Ying Lee and he was marked down for the hat trick. With 37 minutes played, Heaven's
Aizal bin Ashaari fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Aizal bin Ashaari for diving. 0 - 4 was the score after the first half. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 52 percent possession of the ball.
Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Grilled goal after 49 minutes, making it 0 - 5.
Slavcho Tzonkov was noted down as the scorer. Heaven's
温 (Wen) 晓华 (Xiaohua) was shown a yellow card after 61 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
Mohd Rosedy bin Mohd Nor challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 69 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball combination. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. The Grilled players could smell victory in the air.
Slavcho Tzonkov wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui) after 80 minutes. This half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.
The most dominating Heaven player was without a doubt
洪 (Hong) 尚轩 (Shangxuan). However,
Axel Deygas made a disastrous appearance.
Chow Ying Lee performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand,
Yvan Lefébure's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.
