Leong Wan Kang who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 2. Grilled's
Hovaness Noubaryan left the field after 14 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was
Dan Seng.
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) became the new Grilled captain. The visitors'
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 24 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Grilled.
Leong Wan Kang of Grilled was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 30 minutes into the game, Grilled were awarded a penalty and
Djan Bacelar was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 4 rolling the ball in by the right post. Grilled increased their lead after 33 minutes when
Chow Ying Lee broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Confident in their lead, Grilled's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it.
Rashid bin Ahmad hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Grilled's
Hilal Bakhtiar">
Hilal Bakhtiar an easy chance to knock it in for 0 - 6. The referee showed Grilled's
Djan Bacelar the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
王. 石耀 (Shiyao) 's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for SAZER, he bravely continued in the match. 0 - 6 was the score after the first half. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 80 percent.
凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by
梁. 力勇 (Liyong).
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim dispatched a majestic long shot 54 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. 59 minutes in, SAZER's
高. 军雄 (Junxiong) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Due to a severely mistimed tackle,
Rashid bin Ahmad of Grilled spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. Some fine movement on the left led to a Grilled goal after 61 minutes, making it 0 - 7.
Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim was noted down as the scorer. After 66 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
梁. 力勇 (Liyong) to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 8.
Chow Ying Lee received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 69 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 9. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The Grilled players could smell victory in the air.
Leong Wan Kang wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
Pompeo Bellamoli after 70 minutes. After 72 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Pompeo Bellamoli a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 10. SAZER's
Hafiz bin Mohd Saad was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 76 minutes. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 80 percent of possession.
Most important SAZER player was
Ibrahim bin Emoi. On the other hand,
兰. 川源 (Chuanyuan) 's play was disheartening.
Shiya Shaahee performed admirably for Grilled.
Colby Awyong was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 10.
