Stars 2 - 4 Grilled

It had rained all day, but 41768 hardy fans still made it out to All Stars Team Arena. Alessandro Anfuffo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bill Larsson and Thomas Nors Andersen. Stars decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Colman - Bolkan, Udrică, Jacobetty - Garrido Ochando, Wites, Nizan, Skrzypski, Puşcaşu - Hadin, Kearney.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan) , Filippone - Ping Shun, 长春 (Changchun), Shun An, Jing Wei, Meyer - bin Mohd Kassim, Ying Lee, 勇航 (Yonghang).

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Stars. W. Shun An didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Stars's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. A. Udrică caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 12 minutes. This gave Stars the 1 - 0 lead. 13 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as B. Kearney broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Stars. With 17 minutes played, Grilled's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to C. Ying Lee he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 1. The referee showed Grilled's Z. Jing Wei the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Stars's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. The visiting team's G. Filippone was able to score the 2 - 2 equaliser with a header 30 minutes into the match, after some good work on the right. 2 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Stars pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. It was a bad day for the usually speedy C. Ying Lee. The mud seemed to slow him down. With 69 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. W. Ping Shun put the ball away for 2 - 3. 70 minutes in, Grilled's W. Ping Shun received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. At this time in the match, Stars were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. The pressing tactics used by Stars were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. The rain made it hard for players like 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. In a rapid move 78 minutes into the match, C. Ying Lee of Grilled lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) who easily hit it home to make it 2 - 4. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! 79 minutes into the game, Grilled worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. There was concern in the stands when, at the 81 minute mark, Stars's A. Nizan hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. M. bin Mohd Kassim wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 85 minutes into the game by C. bin Sabtu. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let R. bin Ahmad replace 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) after 88 minutes. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Stars's top performer was clearly C. Puşcaşu. On the other hand, B. Kearney's play was disheartening. Most important Grilled player was W. Shun An. C. Meyer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 4.
