2-5-3 was the choice of the day for both coaches. Grilled used their utopian ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. 0 - 1 was the score with 28 minutes played, after
Leonard Nguyen cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Grilled. After 31 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Prokop Mottl a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. After 34 minutes, Grilled's
Leonard Nguyen burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3.
Laureano Monje went down after twisting his right ankle in minute 35, but was able to continue the match none the less. Grilled increased their lead after 37 minutes when
Bernie Egan broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. With the scoreboard showing that 38 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after
Moey Xin Seng came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 74 percent of possession.
As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled coach decided it was time for a substitution.
Bilal Mohammad Harun reluctantly made way for
Neeraj Muthyala on the pitch. After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
Krystian Rykowski off the field.
Eren Serpin took his place.
Moey Xin Seng received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 50 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. With 65 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 0 - 6 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Prokop Mottl. The visitors'
Bhavya Panigrahi took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 74 minutes into the match. 0 - 7 for Grilled. 75 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution.
Islom Davlatov came on for
Leonard Nguyen. 80 minutes into the game
Tzvetan Stoilov could see that the opposing goalie was out of position and tried an unexpected lob that the keeper just barely reached. The rebound went to
Laureano Monje who failed to hit the target. After 84 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Islom Davlatov who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 8. After 86 minutes, Grilled raised their score by one when
Bhavya Panigrahi's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by
Islom Davlatov. 0 - 9.
Bernie Egan increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 10. It was announced by the referee that he estimated stoppage time to be around 3 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 0 - 10. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.
Gela Akhalbedashvili performed admirably for Lane SC.
Tzvetan Stoilov on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Islom Davlatov.
Eren Serpin was a disappointment, however.
