Heaven 0 - 6 Grilled
Heaven tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. They fielded: Moldoveanu - Benbassat, Wee Kwang - bin Ashaari, Meng Qiang, 晓华 (Xiaohua), bin Mohd Nor, Verma - Siong Woon, Su Shun, Hisyam Kamil.
Grilled started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. Lineup: Noubaryan - Bakhtiar, 福泉 (Fuquan) - Ping Shun, Shun An, 长春 (Changchun), Jing Wei, Aik Jia - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang), Ying Lee.
Heaven used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Heaven's
F. Benbassat was shown a yellow card after 8 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 15 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The terraces were silenced after 16 minutes when Grilled's
C. Ying Lee put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. After 31 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
H. Bakhtiar who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 53 percent of the ball.
Some fine movement on the left led to a Grilled goal after 58 minutes, making it 0 - 3.
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) was noted down as the scorer. After 63 minutes, Grilled's
M. bin Mohd Kassim burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. After 64 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
W. Ping Shun to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Grilled lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. With 68 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed
C. Ying Lee of Grilled to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 6. The referee showed Heaven's
A. bin Ashaari the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.
C. Meng Qiang performed admirably for Heaven. On the other hand,
T. Wee Kwang's play was disheartening. Most important Grilled player was
C. Ying Lee.
H. Noubaryan was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 6.
