Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas Changi Genius lined up in a 3-5-2 formation. Grilled clearly preferred using their mythical ability to attack in the middle.Grilled created a good opportunity to score 12 minutes into the match when M. Xin Seng's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball.Grilled broke through on the left 20 minutes into the game, with M. Xin Seng firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead.Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks.With 39 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Changi resulted in a counterattack that set M. Lecoq free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save.Halftime score was 1 - 0.Grilled had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.
The visitors didn't give in and, after 59 minutes, M. Lecoq got through the home side's central line of defence, rolling in the equaliser to make it 1 - 1.With the match clock at 60 minutes, Changi modified their style of play a little bit.The Grilled free kick 72 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of A. Leong Kum, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 2 - 1!田. 勇航 (Yonghang) wanted to play on, but the Grilled coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 75 minutes into the game by L. Wan Kang.As the captain was no longer on the pitch, G. Filippone took over the role of being the Grilled captain.The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 1 minute of added time they, nonetheless, welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact.The match ends 2 - 1.Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.
The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt M. Saliman.H. Trung Quá on the other hand, had a terrible day.Changi's top performer was clearly Z. Hertl.However, T. Mamrák made a disastrous appearance.
