Inter Draggen started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favor of their divine (+8) (28) ability to attack in the middle. The visitors' central defense should have had no trouble clearing the pass to
Aram Puigdomènec, but the Draggen player managed to shrug them off and fire a low shot that 5-holed the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! With 19 minutes played, Draggen's
Aram Puigdomènec received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. After more pushing and shoving than a pack of helicopter moms trying to get the last appointment for their snowflakes to see the Easter Bunny, Draggen's
Alfonso Olano finally got himself booked for a foul. Draggen's
Bogdan Vukić 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 30 minutes. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! The away team improved the scoreline to 2 - 1, as
夏 (Ha) 其材 (Qicai) was able to strike home thanks to a good play on the left 54 minutes into the match. With 59 minutes played, the visitors almost leveled the score.
Chan Ze Han shot a hard curved free kick, but it struck the post. 66 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defense had to look on as
Bogdan Vukić ran straight through, knocking one home to make it 3 - 1 for Draggen. With the clock showing 70 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
Paulino Trindade, though he would have liked to continue. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
夏 (Ha) 其材 (Qicai) reluctantly made way for
Hong Kang Leong.
Chan Ze Han was handed the Grilled captain's armband. Draggen added another goal to their lead as
Lennard van der Hoven struck home for 4 - 1 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 4 - 1. Draggen did a good job holding on to the ball, with 52 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.
Most important Draggen player was
Bogdan Vukić. I can't remember
Valentin Castan ever having a worse night than he just had. Grilled's best player was
Lim An Keng. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Chan Ze Han seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
