Weather conditions were fairly good for football at the stadium today. Starters: Habbouche - Park, León - Thorstensson, Coshutt, Le Roy, Transjö, Pinciani - Urrea, Ferguson, Blanchfield.

They fielded: Germanakos - Keng Chuan, 其材 (Qicai) - Reddy, Thach, Kwang Tse, Khairul, Trindade - Chitre, Teck Fu, An Keng.

The teams stopped and stared at each other - it was like they were looking in a mirror, since they both lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Grilled took the lead after 7 minutes making the score 0 - 1. The keeper had no chance on Gandhik Chitre's fine volley fromleft of the net after a cross from the right. Thomas Pinciani's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and this time was no different as he broke free of his man to send an on-target through ball to Alberto Urrea who knocked it in for Divers. 1 - 1! After 15 minutes cheers broke out as Will 'Headbanger' Coshutt found his way through the guests' central defensive line, rattling the 2 - 1 goal in off the woodwork for Divers. Grilled tied it all up, 29 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by Hwang Teck Fu, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defense, making it 2 - 2. Chia Kwang Tse came close to putting the visiting team one up 34 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but Amjad Habbouche managed to tip the ball over. After 35 minutes of play, Will 'Headbanger' Coshutt gave the home team a 3 - 2 lead after an attack coming in from the right. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Divers's Jermaine 'Jaguar' Blanchfield bringing the lead up to 4 - 2. It was 4 - 2 at the break. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! Grilled fought on, and after 54 minutes, Chad Thach was able to increase the goal tally to 4 - 3 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with a smart lob. Divers added another goal to their lead as Alberto Urrea struck home for 5 - 3 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. Grilled never say die, and though it wasn't a pretty goal, Gandhik Chitre offered the visiting fans a glimmer of hope after 75 minutes. That makes it 5 - 4. Will 'Headbanger' Coshutt gave Divers supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 6 - 4 after 83 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. At that, Will 'Headbanger' Coshutt was noted down for a hattrick! Divers put themselves up 7 - 4 when Tony 'TNT' Transjö broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive delegation behind him. With the clock showing 85 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Hwang Teck Fu looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for Chan Ze Han, though he would have liked to continue. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 3 beyond the regular 90 minutes. Grilled's right side looked dangerous after 90 minutes, as Lim An Keng broke through. Amjad Habbouche continued to stifle them, however, as he made the save look easy. The match ends 7 - 4. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 52 percent possession in this half was spot on!

Most important Divers player was Stephen 'Fireball' Ferguson. Good thing Amjad Habbouche isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance. Grilled's best player was Lim An Keng. Speaking of stinking up the place, Dimitris Germanakos sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
