iv id="matchReport"> Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Ati-Atihan Arena saw a crowd turnout of 6907. Víctor Portal was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gaston Lallemant and Erni 'Turbo' Zibung. Ati-Atihan started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Moldoveanu - Billena, Åström, Venczel - Mangdadatu, Poserio, Young, del Castillo, Abad - Fong, Löfström.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Rykowski - Bakhtiar, Lee Hao, bin Ahmad, van der Ban - bin Mohd Kassim, Won, Isufi, Aik Jia, 勇航 (Yonghang) - Wan Kang.

It was obvious that Grilled were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. After 5 minutes, the Ati-Atihan coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving R. Moldoveanu off the field. T. Mencion took his place. 7 minutes into the game, R. bin Ahmad almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. L. Lee Hao came close to putting the visiting team one up 20 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but T. Mencion managed to tip the ball to a corner. Ati-Atihan earned themselves a free kick after a counterattack wasn't dealt with adequately by their opponents. T. Löfström powered the shot in for 1 - 0. 34 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as M. bin Mohd Kassim struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. Grilled's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Poserio from Ati-Atihan a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 41 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 1 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach made a sign to L. Aik Jia, who soon changed positions with L. Lee Hao. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. D. Bögengang came on for L. Wan Kang. 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) was handed the Grilled captain's armband. 74 minutes in, the referee awarded Ati-Atihan a penalty. T. Löfström coolly slotted it home for a 2 - 1 lead. T. Löfström had a fantastic opportunity to put Ati-Atihan up another goal 76 minutes into the match after a pass through the middle set him free, but he fired just over the crossbar. A. Mangdadatu wanted to play on, but the Ati-Atihan coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 81 minutes into the game by L. Petersen. As D. Bögengang had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Grilled player a red card without batting an eyelid. The referee showed Ati-Atihan's V. del Castillo the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Ati-Atihan's A. Abad was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 84 minutes. After 88 minutes, Grilled switched R. bin Ahmad with Q. Madaini, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Grilled tied it all up, 88 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) , who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 2 - 2. 89 minutes into the game, Grilled seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. Ati-Atihan fans held their breath as A. Venczel scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 3 - 2! Grilled had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

Most important Ati-Atihan player was A. Abad. M. Poserio was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt L. Lee Hao. H. Bakhtiar turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
