Angelito C.F. fielded a 3-5-2 lineup. For Grilled Birds, the formation of choice was 2-5-3. Grilled took the lead 2 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle.
Bernie Egan was the scorer. Had it not been for one of the home defenders,
Bernie Egan would have put Grilled up another goal 25 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The crowd was on its feet 29 minutes into the match, as Angelito's
Isidro Falceto found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 1 - 1 equaliser. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Grilled had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.
With 49 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
Bilal Mohammad Harun put the ball away for 1 - 2. 56 minutes into the match, the speedy
Bernie Egan easily outpaced
Thom Huizen, chipped the keeper and made the score 1 - 3. The home crowd were delighted when
Isidro Falceto scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 2 - 3. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! 75 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Kalki Parvathaneni gave
Cyril Künzler a quick hug as he left the field.
Islom Davlatov would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Heng Dong Chu entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 75 minutes. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 2 minutes of added time they, nonetheless, welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. The visitors'
Bhavya Panigrahi took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 90 minutes into the match. 2 - 4 for Grilled. The match ends 2 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.
The most dominating Angelito player was without a doubt
Alberto Croy.
Sören Bloom turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Grilled player was
Moey Xin Seng. On the other hand,
Bhavya Panigrahi's play was disheartening.
