The spectators didn't look too happy about the constant raining at the stadium today. The pitch was a disaster, due to all the rain. This spelled problems for the more sophisticated players, who usually could rely on speed or technique. For those relying on grit and strength, it actually meant an edge. They fielded: Rutland - Bufton, Fairbairn - Hallworth, Morgan, Tew, Bellamy, Williams - Lacey, Chester, Mendoza.

Starters: Vadalà - Webb, Panigrahi - Künzler, ter Berg, Muthyala, Kamel, Mohammad Harun - Ze Han, Mudaliar, Xin Seng.

The teams stopped and stared at each other - it was like they were looking in a mirror, since they both lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. IsraWelsh showed off their creative tactics. One of many good passes from Hugh Hallworth at the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by Robert Williams, scoring the 1 - 0 goal for IsraWelsh. Stevie Chester gave IsraWelsh supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0 after 33 minutes, following a good exchange of passes on the right that the away team failed to deal with. A great save by keeper Manuel Vadalà with 35 minutes gone kept the visitors in the game after Stevie Chester struck from the left with a real cannonball. After 38 minutes, speedy Rob Bellamy dashed past his marker, making plenty of room for the second wave of attack. However, Hugh Hallworth failed to score. IsraWelsh managed to extend their lead to 3 - 0 when Llwyd Morgan slid in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. IsraWelsh added another goal to their lead as Terrell Mendoza struck home for 4 - 0 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. Chan Ze Han nearly reduced the lead 42 minutes into the game, but a splendid one-handed save by Michael Rutland put an end to the play coming in from the right flank. It was 4 - 0 at the break. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 53 percent of possession.

Coming in from the right, Stevie Chester almost managed to score another goal for IsraWelsh, but his header was kept out by the lightning fast reflexes of the visiting keeper. The clock read 68 minutes and things were deteriorating for the away team as IsraWelsh scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for Ieuan Lacey. The referee showed Grilled's Neeraj Muthyala the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Kalle ter Berg seemed to be defying gravity as he elegantly headed in a goal for Grilled after a corner kick that was nicely executed by Cyril Künzler. That makes it 5 - 1. 75 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Chu Xin Lee came on for Neeraj Muthyala. As the 75 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Bhavya Panigrahi reluctantly made way for 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita). The home team's lead was reduced to 5 - 2 after Grilled's Moey Xin Seng took advantage of a misunderstanding in the center of the defense. With 78 minutes on the clock, Terrell Mendoza could have extended the lead, but his rocket of a free kick went just over the bar. Everyone knows Kalle ter Berg is the man to mark on corner kicks, and 79 minutes in he got free of his marker and sent a ball towards goal, which was barely saved by the keeper. 80 minutes had passed when IsraWelsh put themselves up 6 - 2 after the visiting defenders lost the ball to Stevie Chester, who came up from the left and proceeded to easily go around the goalkeeper and knock the ball home. The swift technical skills of Hugh Hallworth were often too much for the tall but somewhat slow 悠太 (Yuta) 中北 (Nakakita) who was humiliated after 81 minutes. He'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the final shot went wide. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 4 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 6 - 2. 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? Stevie Chester performed admirably for IsraWelsh. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Hugh Hallworth seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Grilled's top performer was clearly Moey Xin Seng. Speaking of stinking up the place, Manuel Vadalà sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
