It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 4-4-2 formation while the visitors instead opted for 2-5-3. The wings were the focus of most of Mayuyu's attacks on this day, taking advantage of their divine (+3) (23) level with that tactic. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, taking advantage of their utopian (19) level with that tactic. The terraces were silenced after 17 minutes when Grilled's
Chia Kwang Tse put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right.
Dimitris Germanakos went down after twisting his right ankle after 33 minutes, and had to leave the pitch.
Manuel Vadalà had already been warming up, and came on for
Dimitris Germanakos. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 34 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Orest Tokarz a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. Mayuyu didn't give in and with 35 minutes played
Joonas Ahola was able to make the score 1 - 2 after an attack on the right. The corner kick from
Federico Parada was powerfully met by the head of
Joe Reece to make the score 1 - 3. 42 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 4 as
Damian Hutter finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Halftime score was 1 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 61 percent of the ball.
It was obvious that team Grilled had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. The home crowd cheered when, after 49 minutes,
Phua Ming Xin's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave
Enrique Baena from Grilled a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 54 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The counterattacks of Mayuyu were deadly and 59 minutes into the game,
Antonio Olivieri received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 2 - 4.
Joe Reece received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 72 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 5. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 80 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution.
Chan Ze Han came on for
Orest Tokarz.
Enrique Baena would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
Egemen Dinçer Ferzan entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 85 minutes. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 2 minutes beyond the regular 90 minutes. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Grilled, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The visitors'
Phua Ming Xin took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 91 minutes into the match. 2 - 6 for Grilled. The match ends 2 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.
Most important Mayuyu player was
Hunor Inczédi. However,
Rudolf Kefalín made a disastrous appearance. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Federico Parada.
Manuel Vadalà on the other hand, had a terrible day.
