Grilled Birds entered the field in a 2-5-3 formation. The visitors, Haïti Billionaire club, chose to start the game with a 5-5-0 lineup. Grilled displayed their extra-terrestrial (16) ability to play creatively. They were singing the praises of
Heng Dong Chu 4 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Grilled. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Grilled to 2 - 0 as
Cameron Law finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Grilled solidified their lead at the 15 minute mark, as
Prokop Mottl dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. As the 20 minute mark approached, the Grilled coach decided it was time for a substitution.
Heng Dong Chu reluctantly made way for
吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong) on the pitch. With 21 minutes played, Grilled's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to
Bernie Egan he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 4 - 0. After a savage shot that could only be parried by the keeper,
Bernie Egan demonstrated his experience by being in just the right place to slot home the rebound. His goal for Grilled 23 minutes into the match made the score 5 - 0. A great save by keeper
Carlens Regis after 25 minutes kept the visitors in the game after
Bernie Egan struck from the left with a real cannonball. It was 5 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 76 percent of the time.
After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving
José Luiz Velho off the field.
Leonard Nguyen took his place. Grilled's
Bernie Egan swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Grilled's
Bilal Mohammad Harun soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 56 minutes into the match. Cheers filled the stadium as
Teo Chuan Yong broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 0 to Grilled.
吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong) should probably have put his team up another goal after 64 minutes after breaking through the middle, but some great goalkeeping by
Carlens Regis kept the visitors in the game.
Teo Chuan Yong had a fantastic opportunity to put Grilled up another goal 70 minutes into the match after a pass through the middle set him free, but he fired just over the crossbar. Grilled's
Bernie Egan saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 71 minutes.
悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Dante Tran entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 80 minutes. The referee announced 2 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 6 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 76 percent of the ball.
Bilal Mohammad Harun performed admirably for Grilled. However,
Cameron Law made a disastrous appearance. Billionaire's top performer was clearly
Ricardo Presky. On the other hand,
Job Mezague's play was disheartening.
