iv id="matchReport"> Grilled tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan), Filippone - Ping Shun, Shun An, Lee Hao, Meyer, Jing Wei - bin Mohd Kassim, 勇航 (Yonghang), Ying Lee.

Crowded had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Török - Borgianini, Brown, Bellamoli - Riva, Steckly, Feleki, Ruiter, Franks - Betik, Lācis.

After 23 minutes, Crowded's J. Riva made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Grilled put pressure on the visitors' central defence 24 minutes into the game, but M. bin Mohd Kassim couldn't find an opening. After 25 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave W. Ruiter a chance to increase the lead for Crowded, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. W. Ping Shun did everything he could to get one back for his Grilled, but keeper I. Török denied him with a spectacular block. M. Franks dispatched a majestic long shot 36 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

With 60 minutes played, the Grilled coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. L. Aik Jia came on, Z. Jing Wei had to leave the fray. Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) cut towards the middle after 65 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. The crowd chanted their encouragement as Grilled's C. Ying Lee came in from the right after 69 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 2 - 2. After 71 minutes, Grilled began to show their lack of experience and they threatened to wilt under the heavy pressure from their opposition. With 75 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. L. Brown put the ball away for 2 - 3. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Grilled, but M. bin Mohd Kassim's shot went over the bar. Crowded claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

田. 勇航 (Yonghang) performed admirably for Grilled. G. Filippone turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Crowded player was without a doubt I. Lācis. V. Bellamoli on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 3.
