Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Grilled's
Chow Ying Lee could have put the guests one up after 18 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but
Claudio Fasani was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. Scallop created a good opportunity to score 32 minutes into the match when
Veljko Milanić's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Grilled's
Abdul bin Jantan got himself booked for a foul. Scallop took the lead after 40 minutes as a result of
Frank Beyerlein's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. After 42 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after
Chow Ying Lee made it through the middle and struck home to make it 1 - 1. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.
Scallop fans held their breath as
Stanisław Śmiech scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 2 - 1!
卢 (lu) 尊文 (Zunwen) of Grilled received a yellow card after 56 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 60 minutes played, the Grilled coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around.
Alex Fonseca came on,
Gleb Dorogan had to leave the fray. Scallop solidified their lead at the 66 minute mark, as
Paul Pattrick Teckenburg dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. After 77 minutes, Scallop began to show their lack of experience and they threatened to wilt under the heavy pressure from their opposition. After 82 minutes, Scallop's
Paul Pattrick Teckenburg found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 4 - 1. After this, you could see that the players of Scallop were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.
Scallop's top performer was clearly
Rahul Naicker.
Aleks Zakrajšek on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Grilled player was
田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang). However,
Edmund Kryus made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
