The spectators at the stadium today were in for an afternoon of sunshine. 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, Teck Fu - Chitre, Ze Han, An Keng.

They fielded: Dean - Fiddaman, Dicle - Harok, Andersson, Acevedo Garcia, Tajchman, Verner-Barton - Maldera, Vărzariu, Worraker.

As the teams spread out over the pitch, it became clear that they would both be using a 2-5-3 formation today. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their divine (+8) (28) ability to great effect. Kenilw0rth went for a narrow approach, using their utopian (19) ability to focus their attacks down the middle. After a fine move down the middle Chan Ze Han nearly put the home side one up with 11 minutes played. His final touch escaped him though and the keeper smothered the ball. Making his way up the middle after 19 minutes, Chia Kwang Tse almost managed to sneak a goal past the visitors' keeper, but Danny Dean was ready and blocked it to keep the score level. Chad Thach of Grilled received a yellow card after 34 minutes for unsportsmanlike behavior. Chan Ze Han is making an astonishing dash. The fans are chanting his name. You can hear it reverberate around the stadium. Now a manic sprint up the middle and into the box. Oh! He's thrown open the door! He's thrown open the door, shot the ball through, and slammed the door shut on Mr. Tumnus! Grilled has taken the lead 35 minutes into the match, 1 to 0. There'll be no Turkish Delight after the match for the keeper! A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan bringing the lead up to 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses and a Twisted Metal F.C. tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. 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. Chan Ze Han was coming off, and had taken his last free kick for the day. That meant Aw Keng Chuan got the chance to showcase his dead ball skills. Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up coming through the center. Joe Reece should probably have put his team up another goal after 57 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by Danny Dean kept the visitors in the game. With 64 minutes played, Kenilw0rth showed they hadn't given up and were able to reduce the score to 2 - 1 when Gabi Vărzariu got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Grilled, and they were successfully passing the ball from the wing into the middle at the behest of their coach. Things were going from bad to worse for the visitors. Chia Kwang Tse was able to squirm through the central defense after 67 minutes and score, bringing the lead to 3 - 1. Feeling like a boy about to meet his girlfriend's father for the first time, the inexperienced Grilled struggled to maintain their level of play after 73 minutes. 85 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Paulino Trindade came on for Brian 'Was Born' Reddy. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 2 beyond the regular 90 minutes. Grilled solidified their lead at the 89 minute mark, as Hwang Teck Fu snaked the ball through the central line of defense and finished for 4 - 1. The visitors replied 89 minutes into the game, reducing the lead to 4 - 2, as Artur Tajchman dashed up the middle and chipped the ball over the home team's keeper. The match ends 4 - 2. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says Gandhik Chitre performed admirably for Grilled. Speaking of stinking up the place, Dimitris Germanakos sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham. Most important Kenilw0rth player was Cab Worraker. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Halil Dicle seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
