ercast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 65498 at The Cooking Pot today. Matthieu Bibault was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kilan Ghilain and Didier Ziegelasch. Grilled tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Stacey - Fonseca, Madaini - Iten, Shun An, 长春 (Changchun), 尊文 (Zunwen) , Shaahee - 勇航 (Yonghang) , bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee.

Phantasm decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: bin Mohamed - Naik, Jing Min, Kim Ting - Pin Puay, Kang Ho, 衡卓 (Hengzhuo) , How Loong, Ming Kong - 霆翰 (Tinghan), Liang How.

Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, Chow Ying Lee scored for Grilled putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 20 minutes. Soon Liang How could have made it all square after 22 minutes, if only his free kick had been a few inches to the other side of the post. Chow Ying Lee of Grilled was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish Lo Jing Min, which resulted in a goal making the score 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 56 percent of the ball.

Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their 洪 (Hong) 霆翰 (Tinghan) reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 after 53 minutes, following a pass from the right. A great save by keeper Ahmad Fuad bin Mohamed after 54 minutes kept the visitors in the game after 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) struck from the left with a real cannonball. Phantasm's right side looked dangerous 58 minutes in, but Dexter Stacey made a good save on 洪 (Hong) 霆翰 (Tinghan)'s hard shot to the top corner. Grilled were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 61 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by Paolo Iten. 3 - 1 for the home side. Phantasm needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 63 minutes Lo Jing Min made way for 蔡 (Cai) 云翰 (Yunhan). Song Kang Ho was the new captain of Phantasm - handed the armband by the departing player. 64 minutes into the match, Phantasm replied and reduced the lead to 3 - 2. Gwee Ming Kong scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. Grilled solidified their lead at the 69 minute mark, as Chow Ying Lee dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 2. This third goal completed a hattrick for Chow Ying Lee. Alex Fonseca wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by 林 (Lin) 俊桂 (Jungui). Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Phantasm's 金 (Jin) 衡卓 (Hengzhuo) was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. Haji Abdullah bin Ariffin was given a chance to change things around. The bench was restless, and with 80 minutes passed Phantasm's coach gave 龙 (Long) 若康 (Ruokang) the opportunity the player had been hoping for. Soon Liang How reluctantly left the field. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim. Paolo Iten on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Phantasm player was 龙 (Long) 若康 (Ruokang). On the other hand, Quek Pin Puay's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 2.
