The rain was pouring down at the stadium today. The wet pitch made it difficult for technical or quick players to stand out. For once, the players relying on physical strength gained the upper hand. Starters: Germanakos - Keng Chuan, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Thach, Kwang Tse, Khairul, Trindade - Reece, Thoroddsen, Tokarz.

The following players had been selected: Franzoni - Dorobek, Civerra, 力杰 (Lijie) - Jeannin, Valsania, Seghers, Nyborg, Kanun - Hnátek, Krogsæter.

It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 2-5-3 formation while the visitors instead opted for a 3-5-2. Camuna took the lead 7 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Ignaz Jeannin was the scorer. Camuna's Per Krogsæter received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 15 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 0 - 2. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! Not surprisingly, Grilled's bench was visibly upset when, with 19 minutes played, Brian 'Was Born' Reddy almost fumbled the ball into his own net! Grilled had a brilliant opportunity to reply as Chad Thach received a high ball from the right and hit it on the bounce. Lorenzo Franzoni's reflexes induced groans from the home crowd, though. A swift counter-attack by Camuna resulted in a free kick that Mike Nyborg elegantly bent into the goal - 0 - 3! The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says Chad Thach did everything he could to get one back for the home crowd, but keeper Lorenzo Franzoni denied him with a spectacular save. After more pushing and shoving than a pack of helicopter moms trying to get the last appointment for their snowflakes to see the Easter Bunny, Camuna's Mike Nyborg finally got himself booked for a foul. After 70 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Orest Tokarz off. Evandro La Face took his place. The crowd groaned when Chia Kwang Tse, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to pull one back for Grilled. 85 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Phua Ming Xin came on for Gústav Thoroddsen. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 1 beyond the regular 90 minutes. After 89 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Břetislav Hnátek who increased Camuna's lead to 0 - 4. Big paper red cards were being held up by the opposing supporters with 89 minutes on the clock after Mehmet Kanun's mistimed tackle from behind. The referee only showed the Camuna player a yellow card though. The match ends 0 - 4. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! Evandro La Face performed admirably for Grilled. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Dimitris Germanakos seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Camuna's top performer was clearly Lorenzo Franzoni. Speaking of stinking up the place, Mateusz Dorobek sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
