Swiss Sooners of Janubiyah fielded a 3-5-2 lineup. For Grilled Birds, the formation of choice was a 2-5-3. With 20 minutes of the match played, a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but Federico Parada, after dashing down on goal from the left and finding himself with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. The visitors' central defense should have had no trouble clearing the pass to Ricardo Reemer, but the Janubiyah player managed to shrug them off and fire a low shot that 5-holed the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! After 24 minutes, the visitors evened the score after Gústav Thoroddsen made it through the middle and struck home making it 1 - 1. Janubiyah broke through on the left after 34 minutes, with Odd Stangeland firing at an impossible angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. The score became 3 - 1 with 35 minutes played, when Janubiyah were given a penalty. Shah Moeen made no mistake and increased the home lead. Grilled's Chad Thach has the innate ability to create chances out of thin air. 36 minutes in he jumped up and tried a bicycle kick, knocking the ball straight past the keeper, resulting in the 3 - 2 goal. 3 - 2 was the score after the first half. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! Janubiyah put themselves up 4 - 2 when Jan Gładyszewski broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive delegation behind him. With 50 minutes played, Grilled's Federico Parada received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. Grilled certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but Joe Reece just wasn't able to finish. The referee showed Grilled's Gústav Thoroddsen the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled's Brian 'Was Born' Reddy lived up to his reputation for finding unexpected ways to get the ball in the net when he sent a nifty little pass over to Orest Tokarz who scored for 4 - 3. 70 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Orest Tokarz gave Evandro La Face a quick hug as he left the field. Janubiyah were able to mount several counter-attacks, such as the impressive one 72 minutes in, but Shah Moeen lofted a free kick over the crossbar. After 75 minutes, Janubiyah began to show their lack of experience and they threatened to wilt under the heavy pressure from their opposition. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 3 beyond the regular 90 minutes. The match ends 4 - 3. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says Janubiyah's top performer was clearly Urmat Nurseitov. Good thing Telo Felício isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance. Most important Grilled player was Gústav Thoroddsen. I can't remember Lim An Keng ever having a worse night than he just had.
