The spectators didn't look too happy about the constant raining at the stadium today. While a boggy pitch like this was an advantage for physical players, it really didn't help those who relied on speed or technique. The following players had been selected: Boulot - Fernandes, Pubert - Tarhan, Badra, Aqasby, Legrand, Ntinas - Benfenati, Camy, Hölzel.

Lineup: Dob - Webb, Panigrahi - Künzler, Mohammad Harun, Muthyala, Kamel, Xin Lee - Ze Han, Mudaliar, Egan.

As the teams spread out over the pitch, it became clear that they would both be using a 2-5-3 formation today. Grilled clearly preferred using their divine (+5) ability to attack in the middle today. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 3 minutes into the match left Grilled's Bernie Egan completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Grilled's Bhavya Panigrahi received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 16 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 0 - 2. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! The home fans looked somber as they watched their team give up another goal, this one coming from their right as Vikram Mudaliar put one through the keeper's legs. 0 - 3 after 17 minutes. Grilled already had the lead, so Bhavya Panigrahi probably won't be too disappointed that his speculative shot from the right 28 minutes in fell wide of the goal. Antonis Ntinas was doing a great job on the wing, sending in a brilliant pass to his teammates in the middle, but Yaniv Badra seemed unable to profit from this excellent service. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Grilled, and they were successfully passing the ball from the wing into the middle at the behest of their coach. Vikram Mudaliar came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but his attempted chip over Romain Boulot just kept rising and landed in the relieved crowd. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Well, look at this! Nikki Minaj is on the Jumbotron in naught but pink lipstick, soccer balls, and a Ben Nevis of platinum hair. I've not seen anything like it before. She's not got enough room inside her for a rheumatic pain. Can you hear her? It was obvious that Grilled had instructions to attack in the middle when they directed a break on the wing into the center of the park. After 71 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Chu Xin Lee who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 4. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Chu Xin Lee gave Heng Dong Chu a quick hug as he left the field. After 85 minutes of game time, Vikram Mudaliar had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, hitting a cross from the right with a half volley, but Romain Boulot was in the right place and tipped the ball to a corner. With 86 minutes played, Grilled's Salah Kamel received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. Salah Kamel's long shot really ought to have found the net for Grilled after 87 minutes, but it fell just wide of the target. After 89 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Gilbert Webb off. 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) took his place. After 89 minutes, Grilled's Bhavya Panigrahi burst through the central defense and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 5. A thrilling play through the middle after 89 minutes gave Grilled's 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) a chance to increase the lead, and he happily obliged. The score was then 0 - 6. The fourth official announced that there would be 1 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 0 - 6. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 58 percent possession in this half was spot on!

toxines's best player was Matthieu Camy. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Romain Boulot today. Grilled's top performer was clearly Chan Ze Han. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
