iv id="matchReport"> Bangkok tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Stadeli - Stewart, Münzker, Wongwipak - Panel, Boonprasert, Dinges, Dondaine, Pálenkár - Trévisan, Corapi.

A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Grilled. Lineup: Tian Han - 福泉 (Fuquan), Filippone - Ping Shun, Meyer, Muthyala, Leong Kum, Aik Jia - Isufi, Dvorak, 勇航 (Yonghang).

Grilled's 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) was shown a yellow card after 7 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Bangkok took the lead after 18 minutes as a result of M. Wongwipak's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 54 percent of the ball.

After 46 minutes, Grilled switched N. Muthyala with H. Prabhu, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 51 minutes into the game Grilled's G. Dvorak found a gap in the home side's central defence and scored with a fabulous shot, making it 1 - 1. They were singing the praises of A. Pálenkár 52 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 2 - 1 to Bangkok. Bangkok's J. Dondaine got himself booked for a foul. A really bad tackle inside the penalty area 71 minutes into the match gave the referee no other choice but to award the visiting Grilled a penalty. W. Ping Shun knocked it home. 2 - 2 This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when G. Dvorak slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against C. Stadeli, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. Making his way up the middle 82 minutes into the match, H. Stewart almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert W. Tian Han blocked it to keep the score level. Bangkok took the lead 83 minutes in, as J. Dinges broke through on the left and put the 3 - 2 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. The bench was restless, and with 88 minutes passed Grilled's coach gave R. bin Ahmad the opportunity the player had been hoping for. G. Filippone reluctantly left the field. The match ends 3 - 2. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Most important Bangkok player was J. Dondaine. C. Stadeli was a disappointment, however. 田. 勇航 (Yonghang) performed admirably for Grilled. On the other hand, 凌. 福泉 (Fuquan)'s play was disheartening.
