Liao 10 - 0 Grilled
ao started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Urtaza - Ştefan, Giorgiani, Idrizi - Tian Beng, Ridwan, Padula, Özdinçer, das Neves - Grabarz, Soares.
Grilled tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players took the field: Seng - 力勇 (Liyong), bin Ahmad - Kong, Fonseca, An Chu, Dorogan, Chan - Bellamoli, Ying Lee, Wan Kang.
Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle. After some beautiful movement down the left wing,
Kristi Idrizi scored for Liao putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 14 minutes. With 15 minutes played, Liao put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
Lim Tian Beng, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Liao managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when
Eugénio Soares cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper.
Chow Ying Lee of Grilled received a yellow card after 28 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Liao increased the lead as
Khairul Hisyam Ridwan struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Confident in their lead, Liao's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. After 36 minutes,
Khairul Hisyam Ridwan put Liao ahead 5 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 37 minutes into the match, the speedy
Eugénio Soares easily outpaced
Rashid bin Ahmad, chipped the keeper and made the score 6 - 0. The referee showed Liao's
Matteo Padula the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for the halftime break at 6 - 0. Liao enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.
Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes
Pompeo Bellamoli made way for
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim. The bench was restless, and with 46 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave
Shiya Shaahee the opportunity the player had been hoping for.
Winston Chan reluctantly left the field. Liao's
Luigi Antonio Giorgiani struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 7 - 0 after 51 minutes.
Khairul Hisyam Ridwan increased the lead for Liao to 8 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! By then
Khairul Hisyam Ridwan had scored three goals - a hat trick! Things were deteriorating for the away team as Liao scored another to make it 9 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for
Nuno Ricardo das Neves after 76 minutes. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Liao to 10 - 0 as
Eugénio Soares finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. This third goal completed a hattrick for
Eugénio Soares. Possession in this half belonged to Liao, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.
The most dominating Liao player was without a doubt
Eugénio Soares.
Nuno Ricardo das Neves turned in a dismal performance, however. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Chow Ying Lee. On the other hand,
Dennis Kong's play was disheartening. The match ends 10 - 0.
