Grilled 2 - 7 Ffferi
illed had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. They fielded: Stacey - Fonseca, Madaini - Iten, bin Jantan, 尊文 (Zunwen), 长春 (Changchun), Djekshenkulov - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang), Ying Lee.
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ffferi. Lineup: Reyes - Sanguinetti, Réti, Kű - Braun, Hakala, Hutai, Madarász, Papp - Dascălu, Daum.
Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. After 9 minutes, Ffferi put themselves up 0 - 1, as
Lehel Papp finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot.
Abdul bin Jantan pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 12 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 1 - 1 equaliser away. 14 minutes into the match, the speedy
Lehel Papp easily outpaced
Alex Fonseca, chipped the keeper and made the score 1 - 2.
Rudolf Madarász of Ffferi took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 20 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 3. Some fine manoeuvring on the left led to a Ffferi goal after 26 minutes, making it 1 - 4.
Balázs Réti was noted down as the scorer. After this, you could see that the players of Ffferi were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Halftime score was 1 - 4. Ffferi had had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.
A drive down the left side allowed
Zoltán Braun to get in close and score another goal for Ffferi after 56 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 5. Ffferi's
Gergő Hutai wanted to play on, but 75 minutes into the game the decision was made to substitute him for
Leone Cubeddu. After 75 minutes, Ffferi sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
Pascal Daum, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 6. The home crowd were delighted when
Abdul bin Jantan scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 2 to 6. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Good work by the Ffferi defensive line after 83 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found
Rudolf Madarász alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. With 84 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed
Marian Dascălu of Ffferi to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 2 - 7. Ffferi enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.
Chow Ying Lee performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand,
Alex Fonseca's play was disheartening. Ffferi's top performer was clearly
Pascal Daum. However,
Taksony Kű made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 7.
