iv id="matchReport"> Clear skies welcomed the 71691 spectators who had made their way to Ewood Park. Luis Pürro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Edmund Seel and Etienne Marvel. Blackburn started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Schallgruber-Horstmann - Rajki, Rustempašić, Amanpour - Kumble, Floricel, Rorris, Lyulin, Lim - Eugeni, Yáñez.

Grilled tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Lineup: Tian Han - 入江 (Irie), Filippone - Ping Shun, Won, Meyer, Lee Hao, Prabhu - bin Mohd Kassim, Isufi, 勇航 (Yonghang).

Grilled used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The corner kick from W. Ping Shun was powerfully met by the head of C. Meyer to make the score 0 - 1. After 17 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave R. Isufi a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. It was obvious that team Grilled had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. With 31 minutes played, 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. 34 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as 雄. 入江 (Irie) finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 36 minutes, R. Isufi sprinted between the opposing defenders and squared the ball, but the keeper deflected M. bin Mohd Kassim's shot. R. Schallgruber-Horstmann got a fingertip on C. Meyer's shot from the left 37 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. H. Kumble finished off the counterattack of Blackburn from the left rather easily, making the score 1 - 3. Blackburn supporters cheered as good work down the right got the ball to J. Lim who reduced the visitors' lead after 39 minutes to 2 - 3. 2 - 3 was the halftime score. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

After the ball was lifted in from the left, L. Lee Hao was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 54 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The visitors almost increased their lead after 69 minutes when a sweetly hit free kick looked like it was heading for the top corner. However the keeper managed to get a fingertip to it, sending it over the bar. 74 minutes in, Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Unfortunately for Blackburn, N. Rustempašić was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. F. González Carvajal replaced him. With N. Rustempašić no longer on the pitch, J. Lim took over free kick duty. V. Lyulin became the new Blackburn captain. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Grilled coach let 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan) replace G. Filippone after 85 minutes. The coach of Grilled was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 85 minutes, Z. Jing Wei came on for R. Isufi. Grilled had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

S. Rorris performed admirably for Blackburn. J. Lim turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) . H. Prabhu was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 3.
