Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas Los Intratables F.C. lined up in a 3-5-2. Grilled used their divine (+7) (27) ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the field. Slack defending gave Grilled a chance to take the lead with 14 minutes played, but Chu Xin Lee's cross from the left flank was met gratefully by the opposition who cleared it to safety. Chu Xin Lee managed to make an excellent pass from the wing, but Salah Kamel was not as skillful and couldn't finish it off. Grilled were very close to putting themselves one up with 31 minutes gone as 吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong) got through on the left, but a lapse in concentration sent the ball wide. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 56 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.

Big paper red cards were being held up by the opposing supporters with 50 minutes on the clock after Kalki Parvathaneni's mistimed tackle from behind. The referee only showed the Grilled player a yellow card though. Moey Xin Seng is making an astonishing dash. The fans are chanting his name. You can hear it reverberate around the stadium. Now a manic sprint up the middle and into the box. Oh! He's thrown open the door! He's thrown open the door, shot the ball through, and slammed the door shut on Mr. Tumnus! Grilled has taken the lead 51 minutes into the match, 1 to 0. There'll be no Turkish Delight after the match for the keeper! The referee showed Grilled's 吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong) the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up coming through the center. Cheers filled the stadium as Chu Xin Lee broke through the visitors' central defense to put away the 2 - 0 goal for Grilled. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Gilbert Webb came on for Bhavya Panigrahi. As the 80 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. 吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong) reluctantly made way for Heng Dong Chu. Massoud Dob made a brilliant save 84 minutes into the match, blocking a rocket of a shot from Rachad Rahmouni on the right hand side. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Grilled's Chan Ze Han bringing the lead up to 3 - 0. Intra had a fair chance to reply after 86 minutes due to some fine moves down the left, but in the end Elek Kóbor was slow to keep up with the play and was unable to make it into the penalty box to apply a finish. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 3 - 0. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 57 percent of possession.

The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Moey Xin Seng. Speaking of stinking up the place, Chu Xin Lee sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham. Rachad Rahmouni performed admirably for Intra. Good thing Ottmar Wahl isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance.
