73929 spectators arrived at
Old Trafford, where weather conditions were pretty good for football.
Adalberto Crespo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Maximilian Mitterer and
Marceli Sporna. Manchester decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. The following players took the field: Lazzaretto - Churilov, Ovelar - Fedorczyk, Aleksandrić, Coca, Steinboeck, Paschini - Bugaev, Margue, Messner.
Grilled started off with a 5-5-0 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Tian Han - bin Ahmad, 福泉 (Fuquan) , 长春 (Changchun), Ross, Madaini - bin Jantan, bin Mohd Kassim, Aik Jia, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee -.
Manchester demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. For their match strategy, Grilled had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible.
V. Bugaev of Manchester displayed some of his fantastic technical abilities when he brought the ball down neatly using his instep before nutmegging the bewildered
M. bin Mohd Kassim and smashing an unstoppable shot past the goalkeeper to make it 1 - 0. With 29 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Grilled resulted in a counterattack that set
R. bin Ahmad free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. After 34 minutes
S. Fedorczyk made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to
A. Margue who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 2 - 0. After 36 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by
V. Messner might have resulted in another goal for Manchester. However,
W. Tian Han made a spectacular save. After 39 minutes, the defensive line of Grilled created a counterattack through the middle that gave
M. bin Mohd Kassim a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Manchester solidified their lead at the 42 minute mark, as
V. Messner dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Manchester had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.
Manchester put in a good effort on the right, but
G. Ovelar saw his volley fly wide of the mark 57 minutes into the game.
V. Steinboeck of Manchester was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Cheers filled the stadium as
V. Messner broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to Manchester. After this, you could see that the players of Manchester were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Proving his experience,
V. Bugaev scored 5 - 0 for Manchester after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical moment. With 83 minutes gone,
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Grilled caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to
passable. Manchester increased the lead as
V. Bugaev struck to make the score 6 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. By then
V. Bugaev had scored three goals - a hat trick!
V. Messner's lightning pace was too much for
凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) who could only look on as the Manchester player blasted one home. 7 - 0. At that,
V. Messner was noted down for a hat trick! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Manchester, with 70 percent of the ball.
The most dominating Manchester player was without a doubt
A. Margue.
R. Paschini was a disappointment, however.
田. 勇航 (Yonghang) performed admirably for Grilled.
朱. 长春 (Changchun) on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 7 - 0.
