Grilled Birds fielded a 2-5-3 lineup. For Fluffy Bunny Feets, the formation of choice was a 2-3-3. After 7 minutes of play,
Chia Kwang Tse gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. 10 minutes in, Fluffy appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only inadequate (5). A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's
Gandhik Chitre bringing the lead up to 2 - 0. Things were going from bad to worse for the visitors.
Chan Ze Han was able to squirm through the central defense after 28 minutes and score, bringing the lead to 3 - 0. Grilled's
Brian 'Was Born' Reddy swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defense were able to clear the ball. 32 minutes into the game, Fluffy seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak (4). Grilled added another goal to their lead as
Gandhik Chitre struck home for 4 - 0 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 88 percent possession in this half was spot on!
Fluffy's coach went over the strategy again during the break, and after that his players had passable (6) organization. After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving
Chan Ze Han off.
Joe Reece took his place. With
Chan Ze Han no longer on the field,
Aw Keng Chuan was the new set pieces taker. After a play down the right 57 minutes into the match, Grilled's
Chad Thach unleashed a ferocious shot that smashed into the roof of the net - after going over the crossbar. Grilled's
Aw Keng Chuan had an excellent opportunity 69 minutes in, shooting after bringing down a ball from the right, but he missed the goal by miles!
Lim An Keng increased Grilled's lead to 5 - 0, connecting with a hooked ball from the right. The away fans are claiming handball, to no avail. A great save by keeper
Uoti Söyrinki with 77 minutes gone kept the visitors in the game after
Chia Kwang Tse struck from the left with a real cannonball. Grilled's
夏 (Ha) 其材 (Qicai) 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. 6 - 0 after 82 minutes. With the clock showing 85 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board.
Brian 'Was Born' Reddy looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for
Paulino Trindade, though he would have liked to continue. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 1 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 6 - 0. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 87 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.
Grilled's best player was
Lim An Keng. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Dimitris Germanakos seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
Uoti Söyrinki performed admirably for Fluffy. Good thing
Ludvig Thor isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance.
