The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while Razesii lui Stefan has decided to play a 3-5-2 lineup. Raze took the lead 2 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Artan Taherkhani was the scorer. After 12 minutes Grilled were able to score the equalizing 1 - 1 goal when Bernie Egan picked up a pass coming in from the right and lofted it past the away team's keeper. With 21 minutes played, Chan Ze Han came in from the right with the intention of giving Grilled the lead, but his rocket of a shot could only rattle the crossbar. Raze took the lead after 23 minutes making the score 1 - 2. The keeper had no chance on Robert Marele's fine volley fromleft of the net after a cross from the right. 33 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 3 as Ciro Coda finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular bicycle kick. Grilled's Neeraj Muthyala sliced towards the middle after 35 minutes, receiving a sensational pass and carving through the visiting team's central defense, putting the goal away to make it 2 - 3. After 39 minutes, Bernie Egan rushed down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the 3 - 3 goal. 3 - 3 was the score after the first half. 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? Massoud Dob looked great 47 minutes in after stopping a shot by the visitors' Ciro Bordoni. Grilled's Vikram Mudaliar tried to break through the middle repeatedly, but the visitors' defenders were just too alert. With the match clock reading 71 minutes, the inexperienced Grilled team fell into disarray. The head of Heng Dong Chu connected with a beautiful corner kick after 75 minutes. He wasn't shooting, though, but rather passing to Neeraj Muthyala of Grilled who buried the shot for 4 - 3. The home side's Vikram Mudaliar came close to extending the lead after 78 minutes. His shot came in from the right but Marek Kovařík managed to push it wide with his fingertips. 82 minutes into the game, Bobby Hinderdael almost tied it all up for the visitors with an expertly placed free kick. Unfortunately for Raze, the home keeper made an incredible save. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 2 minutes of added time, they welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. The match ends 4 - 3. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 55 percent of possession.

The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chan Ze Han. I can't remember Bhavya Panigrahi ever having a worse night than he just had. Most important Raze player was Mihai Rednic. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Maroun Baroudi seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
