It was a sunny day at the stadium today. The weather was sunny, which meant perfect conditions for technical players in both teams. However, it was also quite warm, which meant quick or physically strong players were drained faster and couldn't play their best game. The following players had been chosen: Declercq - Pierson, Delamarche, Arts - Goutard, Breil, Quéron, Peltier, Ekobo - Beaujouan, Dubois.

Lineup: Dob - Webb, 中北 (Nakakita) - Künzler, Xin Lee, Mohammad Harun, Muthyala, Dong Chu - Ze Han, Davlatov, Xin Seng.

It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 3-5-2 formation while the visitors instead opted for 2-5-3. Today, Olympique's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks, taking advantage of their brilliant level with that tactic. Grilled tried to focus their attacks down the middle, taking advantage of their divine (+5) level with that tactic. Dieuwe Arts got left behind when Grilled's Cyril Künzler left scorch marks in the turf 12 minutes, finishing off with a blisteringly swift strike. 0-1! After 14 minutes, Grilled's Islom Davlatov burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Neeraj Muthyala increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. Grilled's Neeraj Muthyala was shown a yellow card after 26 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 31 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave Cyril Künzler a chance to increase the lead for Grilled, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. Grilled increased their lead after 34 minutes when 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, Cyril Künzler would have put Grilled up another goal 35 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. Grilled claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 78 percent.

46 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) gave Bhavya Panigrahi a quick hug as he left the field. After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Neeraj Muthyala off the field. Kalki Parvathaneni took his place. With the scoreboard showing that 71 minutes had been played, Grilled nearly put themselves up another goal after Bilal Mohammad Harun came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. A drive down the left side allowed Gilbert Webb to get in close and score another goal for Grilled after 75 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Kalki Parvathaneni came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over Seth Declercq but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. 79 minutes in, Olympique's David Beaujouan received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Bhavya Panigrahi dispatched a majestic long shot 82 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. It was announced by the referee that he estimated stoppage time to be around 2 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. The visitors' Bilal Mohammad Harun took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 91 minutes into the match. 0 - 7 for Grilled. The match ends 0 - 7. Possession in this half belonged to Grilled, who controlled the ball 77 percent of the time.

Olympique's top performer was clearly Dieuwe Arts. On the other hand, Seth Declercq's play was disheartening. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Islom Davlatov. Bhavya Panigrahi on the other hand, had a terrible day.
