Fc Babaorum started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their divine (+8) (28) ability to great effect. The game had been going for 3 minutes when
Hennes Polesnig came in on the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to put away the 1 - 0 goal, giving Babaorum the lead.
Georgi Marinov's curling free kick almost found the goal for Babaorum, but the visitors' keeper somehow managed to get ahold of it. The home team thought they were lucky after a brilliant strike from the right bounced off the crossbar 24 minutes in.
Moey Xin Seng was first to react though, and leveled the game at 1 - 1. After 25 minutes, Grilled's
Chu Xin Lee made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. 27 minutes into the game, technical
Chan Ze Han of Grilled scored to make it 1 - 3, having made
Wolfgünter Vorpommern look like a complete fool. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 55 percent of possession.
The home crowd did not lose faith and cheered their team on as they strove to get back into the game. The fans were rewarded after 71 minutes when
Hänsel Borsch burst forward, 5-holed the central defender and then mischievously lobbed the ball over the advancing goalie to make the score 2 - 3. Definitely a SportsCenter Top 10 candidate – DA-DA-DA! DA-DA-DA! With 73 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 2 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was
Chan Ze Han. The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when
Vladimiro Volpin tried to sneak the ball past the keeper. However,
Massoud Dob was too alert for that! Oh dear, hide the children! 84 minutes into the match,
Hänsel Borsch came down the left flank with a torch in one hand and a sword in the other. He's annihilated the defense and devastated the keeper! Goal for Babaorum, reducing the lead to 3 - 4. As the 85 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Chu Xin Lee reluctantly made way for
Cyril Künzler. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 3 - 4. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.
Most important Babaorum player was
Hennes Polesnig. I can't remember
Bolesław Górniak ever having a worse night than he just had.
Moey Xin Seng performed admirably for Grilled. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by
Chan Ze Han today.
