ouds darkened the skies at
The Cooking Pot as 59248 spectators turned up for the match.
Dalibor Šrámek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Zdenko Kulhánek and
Theodor Werdich. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. Lineup: Kryus - 福泉 (Fuquan) , bin Ahmad - Shun An, bin Jantan, 长春 (Changchun), Jing Wei, 尊文 (Zunwen) - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.
Rapalites tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players took the field: Ruivo - bin Rozi, bin Abd Kadir - Frizzi, 文扬 (Wenyang), Mantali, bin Ahman, Leaşcu - Nilo, 景铭 (Jingming), Huhtamäki.
Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. 7 minutes into the game,
Daniel Leaşcu was a hair's breadth away from giving Rapalites the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by
Edmund Kryus saved the home team that time. Grilled took the lead 20 minutes in, as
Rashid bin Ahmad broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. 21 minutes in, Rapalites's
Musa bin Abd Kadir received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks.
Chow Ying Lee could have increased the lead after 31 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.
With 64 minutes gone, Rapalites had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However,
裴. 景铭 (Jingming) did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. After 84 minutes Rapalites's
Mohd Firdaus bin Rozi had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony.
Azri Haikal Ameer came in to replace him. Rapalites managed, after 85 minutes, to even the score at 1 - 1 with a lucky free kick by
José Alberto Nilo. Somehow the ball squirmed its way through the defensive wall! Grilled broke through on the left 86 minutes into the game, with
朱. 长春 (Changchun) firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let
Leong Wan Kang replace
Chow Ying Lee after 87 minutes.
Dan Seng was called on to replace Grilled's
Edmund Kryus after 88 minutes following a nasty collision.
Musa bin Abd Kadir was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from Rapalites's defence 89 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 2 - 2. Grilled had a good opportunity to take the lead as
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of
Kuki Ruivo. Grilled's
卢. 尊文 (Zunwen) had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 89 minutes having been played.
Shiya Shaahee was the replacement. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) .
Dan Seng turned in a dismal performance, however.
裴. 景铭 (Jingming) performed admirably for Rapalites.
Azri Haikal Ameer was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
