iv id="matchReport"> 47118 spectators had come to Old Trafford this cloudy day. Tymoteusz Szczepanowicz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Luca Sasso and Günter Grasedyck. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Manchester. The following players took the field: Barning - Tejada Jávea, Roszkowiak - Dymnich, Genovè, Yang, Hengen, Närhi - Bugaev, Coca, Djeghbala.

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

The guests almost went up by a goal after 16 minutes when Z. Jing Wei came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. After 21 minutes, V. Bugaev came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Manchester the lead. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Manchester's V. Dymnich increasing the lead to 2 - 0. In a rapid move 36 minutes into the match, V. Dymnich of Manchester lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked A. Djeghbala who easily hit it home to make it 3 - 0. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! At this point, it was obvious that the players of Manchester lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Närhi squirmed through their central defence after 38 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Grilled's L. Aik Jia was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 39 minutes. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Grilled had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

S. Barning made a brilliant save 47 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from C. Ying Lee on the right hand side. Grilled reduced the lead after 59 minutes to 4 - 1 as C. Ying Lee easily chipped the ball past the home side's keeper after a dazzling play from the right. Manchester managed to extend their lead to 5 - 1 when V. Bugaev cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. 76 minutes in, Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A questionable free kick call just outside the home side's penalty area gave Grilled a chance at reducing the score 78 minutes into the match. In the end, the ball went wide. With 79 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Grilled showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 5 - 2 when 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Manchester's best player was A. Djeghbala. B. Yang turned in a dismal performance, however. Grilled's top performer was clearly 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . On the other hand, 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) 's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 2.
