SpartanSG had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Kim Sze - Dalstål, van der Meer, Tolloch - Tan, Schwind, Kian Wen, Casablanca, Nie Tze - Gemeinhardt, November.
Many thought
卢. 尊文 (Zunwen) ought to have been awarded a penalty 2 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around
Mok Kim Sze after a determined run through the middle. At 39 minutes played,
Chow Ying Lee came in from the right with the intention of giving Grilled the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Grilled had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.
The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) , but the Grilled player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! The crowd gasped as
凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) of Grilled was flattened by an opponent after 68 minutes and had to be carried off.
Qassem Madaini came in off the bench.
Abdul bin Jantan left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 80 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
Shiya Shaahee was the replacement. 85 minutes into the game,
H. Dalstål had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
Wang Kwang Long. Grilled's
Shiya Shaahee was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box -
Chow Ying Lee managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 2 - 0 after 86 minutes. Confident in their lead, Grilled's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Grilled's
Qassem Madaini had an excellent opportunity after 88 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let
Leong Wan Kang replace
Chow Ying Lee after 89 minutes. After 89 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
Rashid bin Ahmad gave the Grilled supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . However,
Edmund Kryus made a disastrous appearance. SpartanSG's top performer was clearly
Reinout van der Meer.
Robbie Tan was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
