Grilled 5 - 4 btfly
brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 6339 to The Cooking Pot.
Örjan Nilsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Fabian Gstrein and
Dawid Walorczyk. Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Noubaryan - Bakhtiar, bin Ahmad, Awyong - 福泉 (Fuquan) , bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Shaahee - Bacelar, Wan Kang.
A 5-5-0 alignment was the formation of choice for btfly. The following players took the field: 岡田 (Okada) - 市川 (Ichikawa), Pizarro, Grbić, 佐藤 (Sato), Bernardo - Hiraki, 木村 (Kimura), Foquet, 佐々木 (Sasaki), 竹下 (Takeshita) -.
Grilled demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. After some beautiful movement down the left wing,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim scored for Grilled putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 15 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Grilled to 2 - 0 as
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle.
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) 's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. 35 minutes in, Grilled appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only
inadequate. btfly fought on and, after 38 minutes,
和. 木村 (Kimura) was able to reduce the deficit to 2 - 1 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip.
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from
Djan Bacelar after 39 minutes of play, making the score 3 - 1. At that,
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was noted down for a hat trick! Confident in their lead, Grilled's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The Grilled free kick 41 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) , who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 4 - 1! After 42 minutes, btfly switched
Ð. Grbić with
義. 江口 (Eguchi), hoping for a quick impact on the pitch.
Castejón Foquet was the new captain of btfly - handed the armband by the departing player. Grilled increased the lead as
Shiya Shaahee struck to make the score 5 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. 5 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 51 percent of the ball.
During the break, Grilled's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to
solid organisation. The coach of Grilled was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes,
梁. 力勇 (Liyong) came on for
凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) .
賢. 竹下 (Takeshita) was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a btfly counterattack from the left after 67 minutes. His neat finish made the score 5 - 2.
Djan Bacelar wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 80 minutes into the game by
Gleb Dorogan. The Grilled captaincy was handed to
Gleb Dorogan. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, btfly's
丈. 佐々木 (Sasaki) was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes.
Janusz Radziemski was given a chance to change things around. btfly needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 81 minutes
和. 木村 (Kimura) made way for
Lars Westerterp.
Leong Wan Kang had a fantastic opportunity to put Grilled up another goal 81 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their
Janusz Radziemski reduced the lead to make it 5 - 3 after 84 minutes, following a pass from the right. Grilled's
梁. 力勇 (Liyong) was shown a yellow card after 85 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 86 minutes into the match,
Leong Wan Kang could have extended the lead, but his powerful free kick went just over the bar.
Kouya Hiraki knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 5 - 4 after 87 minutes. The Grilled players could smell victory in the air.
Colby Awyong wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
Sandy Fu after 88 minutes. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
Leong Wan Kang from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 88 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.
Grilled's best player was
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . On the other hand,
Sandy Fu's play was disheartening. btfly's top performer was clearly
Janusz Radziemski.
公. 佐藤 (Sato) on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 5 - 4.
