Divers clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could.Grilled took the lead 22 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar.The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave C. Ying Lee from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 25 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!After 34 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by L. Aik Jia might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However, M. Mohd Hassan made a spectacular save.With 35 minutes gone, M. Chao Puay suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Divers caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring.C. Ying Lee should probably have put his team up another goal after 36 minutes after breaking through the middle, but some great goalkeeping by M. Mohd Hassan kept the visitors in the game.With 37 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Divers resulted in a counterattack that set V. Adamiani free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save.The game was close to savage at times, and Grilled's C. Ying Lee received a second yellow card after 39 minutes; his ticket out of the game.Cheers filled the stadium as M. bin Mohd Kassim broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Grilled.2 - 0 was the score after the first half.Grilled had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.
Grilled's M. bin Mohd Kassim swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball.V. Adamiani was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from Divers's defence 52 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 2 - 1.What was L. Lee Hao thinking? That's what everyone wondered when, for no apparent reason, he shot a cross pass over his own penalty area, giving M. Corghi an extra chance, but unfortunately for Divers, he didn't get the shot right.M. bin Mohd Kassim had a fantastic opportunity to put Grilled up another goal 57 minutes into the match after a pass through the middle set him free, but he fired just over the crossbar.V. Adamiani's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 62 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to R. Postnikov who knocked it in for Divers. 2 - 2!Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 64 minutes.Divers's R. Postnikov got himself booked for a foul.After 88 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving L. Lee Hao off the field. R. bin Ahmad took his place.Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.
