It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 3-5-2 formation while the visitors instead opted for a 2-5-3. The visiting
Federico Parada was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 10 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. With the scoreboard showing that 34 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after
Chad Thach came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. The referee showed United's
Jan Frechen the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! After 48 minutes, Grilled's
Gústav Thoroddsen burst through the central defense and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. After 50 minutes of game time,
Brian 'Was Born' Reddy had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, hitting a cross from the right with a half volley, but
Anders Svensson was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner. A thrilling play through the middle after 63 minutes gave Grilled's
Joe Reece a chance to increase the lead, and he happily obliged. The score was then 0 - 3. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot from the right by
Chad Thach beat the keeper with 68 minutes played, preventing Grilled from going up another goal. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Orest Tokarz reluctantly made way for
Evandro La Face. United's
James Wahlberg was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 74 minutes. With 79 minutes gone, United's
James Wahlberg had to leave the game after talking back to the referee and receiving his second booking. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 1 minutes of added time, they welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. After 89 minutes, United sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
Mihai 'The Butcher' Buciuman, who had plenty of time to shoot and score - 1 - 3. The match ends 1 - 3. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says Most important United player was
Mihai 'The Butcher' Buciuman. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by
Vítor Siciliano today.
Gústav Thoroddsen performed admirably for Grilled. Good thing
Lim An Keng isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance.
