Grilled Birds entered the field in a 2-5-3 formation. The visitors, The EV, chose to start the game with a 3-5-2 lineup. Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle, taking advantage of their divine (+6) level with that tactic.
Bilal Mohammad Harun fired a shot from distance after 13 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Grilled. 19 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Grilled to take the lead after a good cross from the right found
Chan Ze Han alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Grilled had a good opportunity to take the lead as
Bernie Egan came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of
Rizvi Younes.
Heng Dong Chu made one of his many fine passes from the wing into the middle 26 minutes into the match.
Bilal Mohammad Harun bravely attempted to execute a diving header and the ball was met firmly with his forehead for Grilled. 1 - 0. Cheers filled the stadium as
Chan Ze Han broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Grilled. 35 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as
Alois Štajer anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 2 - 1. With 37 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to
Bhavya Panigrahi, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.
60 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Bhavya Panigrahi gave
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) a quick hug as he left the field. As
Bhavya Panigrahi left the field, the coach signaled to
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) to be the new set pieces taker. The coach of Grilled was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 60 minutes,
Cyril Künzler came on for
Salah Kamel. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
Kalle ter Berg from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 65 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient!
Bernie Egan unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Coming from the right,
Bilal Mohammad Harun almost managed to score another goal for Grilled, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. The visitors replied 85 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 2, as
Naji Hatoum dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Grilled solidified their lead at the 87 minute mark, as
Chan Ze Han dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 2. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Grilled scored another to make it 5 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) after 88 minutes.
Vikram Mudaliar would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
