<description><![CDATA[ A ding-donger of a match ended all square as the SAS Eagles went out of their way to attack Grilled&#39;s new stand-in goalkeeper Alvaro Silvera. The Birds had little choice but to respond in kind, and twice went ahead only for the hosts to set up an exhilarating finale. It was an open secret that Grilled&#39;s Chilean custodian hadn&#39;t been in the best of form, which was made all the more evident when he miscued a simple goal-kick in the pre-match warm-up. Grilled attempted to draw the action away from their weak spot by holding the ball in the opposition half, and were a yard from getting ahead as the red-hot Matthias Branbilla skipped the ball by the Eagles goal. Grilled&#39;s worst fears came to pass, as a long ball downfield was shepherded towards the boundary by an uncertain-looking Talib, who didn&#39;t seem to want to play it across to his goalkeeper. That gave Faizal Saad a window to duck in and take the ball, and Silvera could do little about the businesslike finish by Subri bin Ramli. That... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Although Grilled fell behind in the title race as heimu XI came from 1-2 down to beat Grilled&#39;s next opponents Kampung United 3-2 in the final ten minutes, the travelling fans weren&#39;t too upset by the spectacle. &quot;We only took the lead again in the final few minutes, so it didn&#39;t feel so bad.&quot; IT consultant Charlie Kim, 29, said. &quot;I do have doubts about our new goalkeeper - he seemed very uncomfortable out there.&quot; heimu&#39;s win however cost them defender Noe Baía, who may be on his way out of Blackwood Field, and key midfielder Magnus Schunck, who is in a race to be fit for Wednesday&#39;s Cup meeting with shoot&#39;n&#39;save. Yellow Buggies reasserted themselves with a deserved three points against LA XI, who were not able to regain the fluency that had seen them hold heimu. De_Sangkakala United unfortunately appear doomed even at this early stage, as they lost their fourth on the trot, this time to SnowMan Team.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Grilled coach Han Lik-Tsun feared the worst after Valdir was taken out of commission at the end of the first-half, and although scans showed nothing much the matter, Han admitted that it was unlikely that the Brazillian would be risked for the weekend against SAS Eagles, who interestingly will take on leaguemates Yellow Buggies in the next round of the Cup. Han obviously felt that understudy Lim Shun Jin was not ready for the big time, despite his looking after the goal well for the second half, and decided to bring Peruvian 32 year-old Alvaro Silvera in, from Italian Division Nine side novelli, as a more capable backup goalkeeper. &quot;Silvera has been around, and the price was right.&quot; Lik-Tsun explained. &quot;novelli got him for four times the S$100 000 we paid, just a week or so ago, and I think that&#39;s a fair price. los chaques luquenses of Argentina and LoviN&#39;ZueLa of Venezuela would concur.&quot;... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Birds scraped by Division Four side T I T A N S of Changi, as they were nearly made to pay for spurning a slew of potential chances. Although the hosts were undoubtedly the underdogs, they performed close to their best and could conceivably have pulled the rug from under Grilled. Not much occured early on as Grilled&#39;s tender strikeforce kept making all the wrong decisions, even as the first-team midfield toiled to supply them with ammunition. Safrinho, who struck on his debut against A1-paper, was culpable for some of the worst midjudgments, including a couple of moves where a simple pass would almost certainly have resulted in a goal. Grilled finally clicked in the 35th minute, as Han Kok held off passing to the slightly confused Safrinho, and instead gave it to Branbilla to carry forward. The Swiss midfielder probably expected a return ball when he left it to Mohd Safri, but Branbilla couldn&#39;t have been too disappointed when the young star&#39;s instincts took over, as he propelled... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Chicken Wings youth team finally broke their winless-and-scoreless run of six matches, starting from July, that had seen them garner three 0-0 draws, a 0-1 loss, and back-to-back 0-3 defeats. Substitute Leong Ping Ying was the Chicken that broke the duck against FC TOPPENHAUG JUNIORS of Norway, junior side of FC TOPPENHAUG DRAMMEN. This was considered significant enough that when travelling coach-cum-scout Luis Alcántara twittered the news back to Singapore, several members of the senior side felt compelled to send their personal congratulations. &quot;Believe me, after our own friendly disasters, we know how they feel.&quot; goalie Hang Bao-Tam said. The boys meanwhile were just relieved to put the string of poor results behind them. &quot;5-3-2 may be good training, but it&#39;s not fun.&quot; forward Tian Yonghang complained. &quot;I haven&#39;t been getting the balls for, like, forever.&quot;... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Grilled leaped at the chance to drag themselves up the league table by hosting promotees De_Sangkakala United, who have yet to gain a point, or even score a goal, in their opening two matches. A midweek Cup defeat to C-Towners could have done little to aid their morale, and it was understandable that the Grilled fans who made an appearance expected nothing less than a big win. De_Sangkakala won some neutrals over by refusing to sit back, a logical move as they had decent attacking qualities. Italian playmaker Giorgio Valsecchi would not have looked out of place in the Grilled midfield, and they had a proven forward duo of Gustavo Miguel Moreno and Kristof Drieskens, both with over a century of career goals. Unfortunately, that was about the extent of their powers. The visitors tried to keep things simple by playing to their strengths, but that kept things easy for the Grilled defenders as well. After yet another attempted through pass was booted back by Talib, Mohd Safri pushed the... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The pre-match predictions of manager of Kampung United came close to the mark, as he got the outcomes of the Grilled-De_Sangkakala and SnowMan-Buggies ties right, and came within two goals of the exact score; heimu were a single goal from beating LA as foretold in a battle of the XIs. Unfortunately for Kampung United, they appeared to have underrated opponents SAS Eagles, who were however slightly fortunate to leave Deception Point with a three goal winning margin. Perhaps heeding this warning, Grilled coach Han Lik-Tsun refused to be baited by reporters into identifying the biggest threats to his side. &quot;It&#39;s early days yet, and as to that question, well, you know better than I do.&quot; was all the ex-international would say.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bulgarian Ivaylo Mirchev savoured his first hat-trick for the Birds against third round Cup opponents A1-united, and notably all his goals came from dead ball situations. It was also a cheery day for two of Grilled&#39;s youngsters, who got off the mark. Lim Shui Jin was relegated to the bench despite some encouraging outings, as Lik-Tsun opted for the safe hands of Valdir to forestall any unwanted surprises. New boy Safrinho rubbed shoulders with Mohd Safri in attack, a partnership which was naturally dubbed the SAS. Ângelo Cunha Simões found enough favour to start alongside them, with Torsson shifted wide. Grilled didn&#39;t take too long to get going, as Mohd Safri was blocked off illegally by Liang Lee after nine minutes. The forward would combine well with Ivaylo Mirchev for the free-kick, convincingly stepping over the ball for Mirchev to wing past Gan Wan Keong in the A1-united goal. The visitors were not in the best of shape, and leftback Au Su Da had to come off after a collision... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The organization of the Hattrick leagues left something to be desired, as head coach Han Lik-Tsun found it nearly impossible to submit his lineup due to the official servers crashing. &quot;It wouldn&#39;t be so bad if I could just submit it to the referee before the match, but no, it all has to be done online now.&quot; Han grumbled.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ SnowMan Team held Grilled to a credible draw as they kept things very tight at the back with a five-man defensive line. To combat that, the Birds tried Quah as a withdrawn forward and instructed him to spread the ball wide as open as possible, but the numbers were against Rotteveel and Bögengang. The first real action of the game came in the twelfth minute on a breakaway, and most expected Quah to give it to either Penati or Darong, a rare decision as Grilled seldom play with two wingers. Inexplicably, Quah chose to go it himself, and took the breath away with an audacious clip past Lluís Rosa, but the Andorran ex-international was seven years younger and two steps faster, and regained ground all too easily. It was Grilled&#39;s turn to defend a couple of minutes later, with Danish winger Nicolai Nedergaard picking a good time to lay a tempting ball to the head of Foo Ping Chao. Valdir managed to punch it off the midfielder&#39;s head, but there were anxious moments to follow as the ball... ]]></description>
