It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd that came out to the stadium today. For some players the sunny weather was bad news. It made Powerful and Quick players a bit sluggish. For Technical players, it was instead an advantage, allowing them to shine on the pitch. Lineup: Germanakos - Keng Chuan, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Thach, Kwang Tse, Khairul, Parada - Chitre, Ze Han, An Keng.

The following players took the field: Alaviiri - Fowks, Marcato, Atxaguren - Helmus, Bouwstra, Tzadik, van Oostrum, Reus - Sommer, Zeefuik.

Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas fc energy lined up in a 3-5-2. 8 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Grilled to take the lead after a good ball from the right found Chia Kwang Tse alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Grilled created a good opportunity to score 23 minutes into the game when 夏 (Ha) 其材 (Qicai)'s hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, but the visitors' defenders eventually won out. With 32 minutes played Mohd Marzuki Khairul almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Some things can only be learned through experience, and Aw Keng Chuan should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting energy a goal after 37 minutes. Grilled broke through on the left after 38 minutes, with Chan Ze Han firing at an impossible angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. With 39 minutes played, 夏 (Ha) 其材 (Qicai) could have brought this one home for Grilled as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 65 percent possession in this half was spot on!

46 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Joe Reece came on for Chan Ze Han. energy's Ulpe van Oostrum was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 54 minutes. With 60 minutes played, the visitors could have scored the tying goal after Winston Zeefuik came through the middle, but his kick went wide. Grilled's Lim An Keng was delighted to score as he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing keeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing. 2 - 0 after 63 minutes. Gandhik Chitre gave Grilled supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 3 - 0 after 75 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. Joe Reece let loose a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 79 minutes had passed when Grilled put themselves up 4 - 0 after the visiting defenders lost the ball to Mohd Marzuki Khairul, who came up from the left and proceeded to easily go around the goalkeeper and knock the ball home. The fourth official announced that there would be 1 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 4 - 0. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says Grilled's top performer was clearly Gandhik Chitre. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Dimitris Germanakos seemed to stumble all over the pitch. energy's best player was Niko Alaviiri. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Ulpe van Oostrum today.
