The coaches were in sync today, as both teams lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favor of their divine (+9) (29) ability to attack in the middle. After 3 minutes, Altenburg's
Wilbert Marchsteiner made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. The game had been going for 14 minutes when
Ron-Robert Thun broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2 for Altenburg, much to the home crowd's dismay. The referee showed Altenburg's
Noel Selestrin the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 22 minutes played, Altenburg's
Kanga Doucouré received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first.
Arne Würselen's well-known speed was on display as he darted past his defender and sent a beautiful pass through the defender’s legs to
Noel Selestrin who scored the 0 - 3 goal. Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal in minute 33.
Dragoş Baboi was overheard by some in the stands blaming either Grebulon or sunspots, depending on their individual loyalties. By working their way through the middle, Grilled refused to be intimidated – their efforts finally led to
Chad Thach managing to slip the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 3. Altenburg's
Frederik Fuchs-Hirschau was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
The home club's fans got back into the match when
Hwang Teck Fu broke through the visitors' central defense and caught their keeper napping, making it 2 - 3. 2 - 3 was the halftime score. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses and a Beep Boop tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. 55 minutes into the game, Altenburg wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Sam Mahmoud Hmouz gave
Omar Hefny a quick hug as he left the field. Altenburg's
Arne Würselen received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 68 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 2 - 4. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! As the 89 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Aw Keng Chuan reluctantly made way for
Hong Kang Leong. As
Aw Keng Chuan left the field, the coach signaled to
Hong Kang Leong to start taking the set pieces that occurred. With the clock showing 89 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board.
Mohd Marzuki Khairul 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. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. 89 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 2 - 5 as
Kanga Doucouré finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular bicycle kick. The match ends 2 - 5. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! Grilled's best player was
Lim An Keng. I can't remember
Hong Kang Leong ever having a worse night than he just had. The most outstanding Altenburg player was without a doubt
Mario Lichtenberg. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Omar Hefny seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
