iv id="matchReport"> 25404 spectators had come to Home of the Monkey this cloudy day. Hubert Hoiningen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Helí Lotta and Jan 'Der Alte' Fahrenhorst. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Maddnes. The following players took the field: Ho Kok - Izzaq, Wee Yao, Nie An, Mohapatra - Reddy, Pandiani, Saad, Wei Yi, Choon Wee - Burbano.

Grilled had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. Lineup: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan) , bin Ahmad - Ping Shun, Shun An, 勇航 (Yonghang) , Jing Wei, Aik Jia - bin Mohd Kassim, Isufi, Ying Lee.

Maddnes clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. With 7 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. R. Isufi put the ball away for 0 - 1. S. Reddy of Maddnes received a yellow card after 20 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. M. bin Mohd Kassim sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from W. Ping Shun after 31 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 2. Grilled's W. Ping Shun got himself booked for a foul. With 39 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was R. bin Ahmad. After this, you could see that the players of Grilled were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 41 minutes in, Maddnes's T. Wei Yi received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, R. Isufi got himself booked. The manager of Grilled was not happy. R. Isufi increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. Maddnes's F. Wee Yao was shown a yellow card after 44 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Grilled, as W. Ping Shun left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. N. Vandeneynde took his place on the field. With W. Ping Shun no longer on the pitch, N. Vandeneynde became the new set pieces taker. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 57 percent of the ball.

Maddnes had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when U. Pandiani tried to sneak the ball past the keeper. W. Tian Han was too alert for that! Grilled played a good counterattacking move down the left 48 minutes into the match, with 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) finishing well for 0 - 5. After 54 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed R. Isufi to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 6. That made three goals for R. Isufi and he was marked down for the hat trick. With the scoreboard showing that 73 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Maddnes, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Maddnes's S. Reddy cut towards the middle after 75 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 6. Grilled's M. bin Mohd Kassim made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 81 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. After 82 minutes, the defensive line of Maddnes created a counterattack through the middle that gave H. Choon Wee a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. The Grilled players could smell victory in the air. R. Isufi wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for L. Wan Kang after 89 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The most dominating Maddnes player was without a doubt T. Wei Yi. S. Saad on the other hand, had a terrible day. M. bin Mohd Kassim performed admirably for Grilled. N. Vandeneynde was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 6.
