Grilled 1 - 5 Fizzer
irly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 3151 to The Cooking Pot.
Sepp Sønderskov was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Ljubomir Kočić and
Malte Menzel. Grilled had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Noubaryan - Bakhtiar, Awyong - Yong Yau, Gudivada, Da Teck, Adabala, Wee Li - Azhari, Boon Boon, 恒才 (Hengcai).
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Fizzer. Lineup: Becker - Popescu, Hift, Bennemühlen - Rangelov, Taricco, Küster, Claussen, Hemmeter - Trojnara, Theres.
After 14 minutes, Fizzer put themselves up by 0 - 1, as
Zygmunt Trojnara finished off a strike from the left with a real cannon placed at the far post. After 26 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
Kasper Theres to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2.
Gianfranco Taricco increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 3. After the ball was lifted in from the left,
Egon Bennemühlen was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 28 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 30 minutes into the match.
Philipp Küster surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Fizzer enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.
After 52 minutes of game time,
Kasper Theres had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but
Hovaness Noubaryan was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner. Some things can only be learned through experience, and
Hilal Bakhtiar">
Hilal Bakhtiar should take his lesson to heart after nearly giving Fizzer a goal with 69 minutes of the match played. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Grilled's
Neo Da Teck was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes.
卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen) was given a chance to change things around. The home crowd was not impressed when
Pencho Rangelov came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 77 minutes. Fizzer were now up 0 - 4. By now, the players in Fizzer felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. The home crowd were delighted when
Teo Yong Yau scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 to 4. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! After 81 minutes, Fizzer's
Zygmunt Trojnara burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 5.
唐 (Tang) 恒才 (Hengcai) challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 85 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. Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 88 minutes
Colby Awyong made way for
Qassem Madaini. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Fizzer, with an impressive 54 percent possession of the ball.
Grilled's top performer was clearly
卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen) .
Hovaness Noubaryan on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Fizzer player was
Egon Bennemühlen. However,
Cedrik Claussen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 5.
