Grilled 6 - 1 AdidasFC
52000 punters turned up at
The Cooking Pot, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.
Themistocles Constantinou was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Przemysław Ekert and
Jori Matikkala. All of
Jurong was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Grilled decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Kryus - bin Ahmad, Madaini - Shaahee, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Jing Wei, Aik Jia - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.
A 5-5-0 alignment was the formation of choice for AdidasFC. The following players took the field: Milanesi - Wai Pin, Reeg, Alperin, Matyjaszek, Jun - Tarı, Wai Kum, Hao Yun, Lau, Singh -.
AdidasFC clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
Z. Jing Wei from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 21 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! AdidasFC were forced into a substitution as
S. Alperin couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing
A. Ze Yao to come in off the bench. AdidasFC's counterattacks were lethal to the opposing defence, allowing
B. Tarı to score easily from the right flank for 0 - 1. Due to some great work on the right wing Grilled's
M. bin Mohd Kassim was able to even the score after 30 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. With 32 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 2 - 1 lead as
M. bin Mohd Kassim flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. With 34 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
W. Shun An, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. It was 3 - 1 at the break. Grilled had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.
Things were deteriorating for the away team as Grilled scored another to make it 4 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) after 57 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of Grilled were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 64 minutes played, Grilled's
L. Aik Jia almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net.
R. Milanesi was caught napping as
Q. Madaini lifted a ball over him following a free kick, but the ball hit the bar, rebounding into the keeper's arms. With 66 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of AdidasFC resulted in a counterattack that set
L. Hao Yun free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save.
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) increased the lead for Grilled to 5 - 1, 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! Grilled managed to extend their lead to 6 - 1 when
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . With 82 minutes played,
L. Wai Kum of AdidasFC fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.
Grilled's best player was
M. bin Mohd Kassim.
E. Kryus on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important AdidasFC player was
B. Tarı.
C. Wai Pin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
