Kabouters verjaardag entered the field in a 1-5-3 formation. The visitors, Grilled Birds, chose to start the game with a 3-5-2 lineup. Grilled demonstrated their formidable (9) creative tactics on the field. The visiting
Prokop Mottl was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 18 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. verjaardag put pressure on the visitors' central defence 19 minutes into the game, but
Sten Bracké couldn't find an opening. After 26 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as verjaardag found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to poor (3). The visitors'
Paulino Trindade took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 27 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Grilled. The referee showed verjaardag's
Siem Boekhoudt the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
Radovan Jaška of Grilled took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 39 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3.
Chirag Thevar slowly got up on his feet, clutching his right thigh, but eventually signalled that he was ready to play on. Some fine movement on the left led to a Grilled goal after 41 minutes, making it 0 - 4.
Paulino Trindade was noted down as the scorer. verjaardag's
Lex Kolmeijer got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 4. Grilled's
Mohd Marzuki Khairul was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 43 minutes. 1 - 4 was the halftime score. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.
Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of verjaardag was able to get his message across, and raised verjaardag's organisation to passable (6).
Radovan Jaška would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise.
José Luiz Velho entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 46 minutes. As
Radovan Jaška exited the field,
Teo Chuan Yong volunteered to be the new set pieces taker. After 51 minutes,
Siem Boekhoudt had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for verjaardag with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. A drive down the left side allowed
Mohd Marzuki Khairul to get in close and score another goal for Grilled after 56 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 5.
Forouhar Gonabadi got a fingertip on
Teo Chuan Yong's shot from the left 57 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. verjaardag's
Josh van Lingen got himself booked for a foul. The home crowd cheered when, after 71 minutes,
Prokop Mottl's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. After 76 minutes, a deliberate handball from verjaardag's
Siem Boekhoudt was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. With
Siem Boekhoudt no longer on the pitch,
Hugo van den Bos became the new set pieces taker. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 3 minutes of added time they, nonetheless, welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. The match ends 1 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.
verjaardag's top performer was clearly
Harm-Jan Blankenstein.
Hugo van den Bos was a disappointment, however. Most important Grilled player was
José Luiz Velho.
Chirag Thevar on the other hand, had a terrible day.
