Shiya Shaahee was doing a great job on his wing, sending in brilliant passes to his teammates in the middle, but
Chow Ying Lee seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. The visiting team's
Konstantin Trottmann was able to score the 1 - 1 equaliser with a header 39 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Grilled's
