Warriors 3 - 4 Grilled

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 42229 to Long Beach Park. Janne Ahokainen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kepa Sáez and Kars van den Berge. Warriors had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Villate - Engelander, Wodara, Deharbe - Ogarkov, Marassi, Borsos, Krug, Sinigaglia - Lachenschmid, Ainslie.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. The following players had been chosen: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan) , Filippone - bin Jantan, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Jing Wei, Ping Shun - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Ying Lee.

Warriors clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 4 minutes, Grilled tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Warriors were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 10 minutes, Mariusz Wodara swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 1 - 0. Warriors's Wolff Lachenschmid increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 11 minutes. Grilled managed to reduce the score to 2 - 1 as Woon Shun An finished off a well-played combination from the left, easily carving through the defence. Warriors's Gosbert Krug was shown a yellow card after 17 minutes for slicing down an opponent. There was concern in the stands when, at the 21 minute mark, Grilled's Woon Shun An hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. The visitors' Gene Filippone was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 2 - 2 after 22 minutes. The referee showed Grilled's Zhao Jing Wei the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Warriors's Valeriy Ogarkov seemed to stun everyone on the field with an accurate shot that seemed to come from nowhere. Somehow, the keeper managed to keep his cool and made a fantastic save. 2 - 2 was the score after the first half. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when 凌 (Ling) 福泉 (Fuquan) slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against Ricardo Villate, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. 65 minutes in, Grilled's 朱 (Zhu) 长春 (Changchun) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Warriors's Wolff Lachenschmid showed his experience, anticipating the outcome of the opponent's defensive clearance and positioning himself perfectly to volley in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. 3 - 2. An equalising goal seemed certain after 74 minutes when Woon Shun An attacked down the left wing, but Ricardo Villate just managed to make a save to keep the ball out of the net. Grilled levelled the score after 79 minutes to make it 3 - 3, as Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. 80 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Warriors substitution. Ellert Nijpels came on for Wolff Lachenschmid. Grilled took the lead after 81 minutes making the score 3 - 4. Mohd Safri bin Mohd Kassim placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Grilled's 田 (Tian) 勇航 (Yonghang) refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 83 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 57 percent of the ball.

Warriors's best player was Gosbert Krug. Ernst-Jan Engelander was a disappointment, however. Chow Ying Lee performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand, Abdul bin Jantan's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 4.
