Chelsea Swiss Blues started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. The visiting
Islom Davlatov was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 4 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. Grilled increased their lead after 13 minutes when
Islom Davlatov broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay.
Islom Davlatov of Grilled took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 26 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. By then
Islom Davlatov had scored three goals - a hat trick! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 35 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! With 36 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Islom Davlatov.
Neeraj Muthyala dispatched a majestic long shot 40 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.
The visitors'
Islom Davlatov took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 48 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Grilled.
Dimitar Drashkov tried to get a goal back for Chelsea but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move. 65 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Chelsea substitution.
Franco Gayet came on for
Nikos Kalaitzis. After 70 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
Neeraj Muthyala off the field.
Kalki Parvathaneni took his place.
Islom Davlatov would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Bernie Egan entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 70 minutes. Grilled came close to extending their lead as
Chan Ze Han delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 78 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. After 79 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by Chelsea on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by
Eusebio Frasso to make it 1 - 5. After 83 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Moey Xin Seng who increased Grilled's lead to 1 - 6. Some fine movement on the left led to a Grilled goal after 84 minutes, making it 1 - 7.
Heng Dong Chu was noted down as the scorer. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 1 - 7. Grilled had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.
Chelsea's best player was
Dimitar Drashkov. However,
Omri Cohen made a disastrous appearance.
Moey Xin Seng performed admirably for Grilled.
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) was a disappointment, however.
