The teams had chosen different formations for the match. Home team ju5tan0therper50n went for 4-4-2 while Grilled Birds has decided to play a 2-5-3 lineup. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle, taking advantage of their mythical (17) level with that tactic. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Grilled, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. After 4 minutes, Grilled's
Aw Keng Chuan made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Given a free kick close to the byline, Grilled tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let
Enrique Baena slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 2, 5 minutes into the game. Grilled came close to extending their lead as
Lim An Keng delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 12 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting.
Moey Xin Seng was, after 23 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper
Low Wen Boon made the save.
Bilal Mohammad Harun received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 31 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Grilled fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Grilled enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.
With 57 minutes played,
Chan Ze Han nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. With 59 minutes gone, Grilled had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However,
Moey Xin Seng did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Oh dear,
Enrique Baena was so close to making an own goal when he threw out his foot at just the wrong time, but the ball went in the frame. 74 minutes into the match,
Chan Ze Han came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. After 77 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
Moey Xin Seng a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. As the 80 minute mark approached, the Grilled coach decided it was time for a substitution.
Moey Xin Seng reluctantly made way for
Kalki Parvathaneni on the pitch. The Grilled captaincy was handed to
Chan Ze Han. 80 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Bilal Mohammad Harun gave
Gandhik Chitre a quick hug as he left the field. As the match nears its end, the referee has deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time.
Kalki Parvathaneni of Grilled took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 89 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 5. Grilled's
Kalki Parvathaneni was shown a yellow card after 90 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
The match ends 0 - 5. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grilled, with 63 percent of the ball.
Dillon Lee performed admirably for ju5tan0therper50n. On the other hand,
Low Wen Boon's play was disheartening. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt
Chan Ze Han. However,
Paulino Trindade made a disastrous appearance.
