iv id="matchReport"> It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd that came out to the stadium today. 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. The following players took the field: Niewiarowski - Kucharski, Członka - Beckham, Valencia, Sutter, Arshavin, Hargreaves - Puskás, Frei, Chapuisat.

Starters: Dob - 中北 (Nakakita), Webb - Künzler, Muthyala, Xin Seng, Mohammad Harun, Romijn - Parvathaneni, Mudaliar, Xin Lee.

As the teams spread out over the pitch, it became clear that they would both be using a 2-5-3 formation today. FGC clearly preferred using their divine (+6) ability to attack in the middle. Gilbert Webb" class="awayplayer">Gilbert Webb dispatched a majestic long shot 13 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. FGC's Stéphane Chapuisat got himself booked for a foul. After 22 minutes of play, Orest Kucharski gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Antonio Valencia of FGC was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 25 minutes, FGC raised their score by one when David Beckham's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by Stéphane Chapuisat. 2 - 0. It was obvious that team FGC had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. 29 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as Ferenc Puskás broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for FGC. FGC's Stéphane Chapuisat increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 30 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to FGC, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Grilled needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes Vikram Mudaliar" class="awayplayer">Vikram Mudaliar made way for Islom Davlatov. Alex Frei increased the lead for FGC to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! FGC put themselves up 6 - 0 when Stéphane Chapuisat broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. At that, Stéphane Chapuisat was noted down for a hat trick! 75 minutes in, Grilled's Kalki Parvathaneni" class="awayplayer">Kalki Parvathaneni received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Cheers filled the stadium as Alex Frei broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 0 to FGC. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Grilled's Chu Xin Lee" class="awayplayer">Chu Xin Lee was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes. Chan Ze Han" class="awayplayer">Chan Ze Han was given a chance to change things around. After 81 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Owen Hargreaves might have resulted in another goal for FGC. However, Massoud Dob made a spectacular save. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Alain Sutter squirmed through their central defence after 83 minutes, increasing the lead to 8 - 0. It was announced by the referee that he estimated stoppage time to be around 3 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 8 - 0. FGC had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

The most dominating FGC player was without a doubt Alex Frei. On the other hand, Piotr Członka's play was disheartening. Most important Grilled player was Islom Davlatov. 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) turned in a dismal performance, however.
