RekarajoK1 started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 20 minutes into the match, and Chan Ze Han wasn't about to waste it. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The referee signaled a penalty 26 minutes into the game following a foul that was right on the line. Gilbert Webb knocked it home to make the score 0 - 2. Grilled's Chan Ze Han received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 33 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 0 - 3. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! With 34 minutes played, RekarajoK1's Thys Wildenbeest received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. Grilled increased the lead to 0 - 4 as Gilbert Webb scored from the penalty spot, putting the ball in the top left corner. The referee showed Grilled's Teo Chuan Yong the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A thrilling play through the middle after 39 minutes gave Grilled's Heng Dong Chu a chance to increase the lead, and he happily obliged. The score was then 0 - 5. After more pushing and shoving than a pack of helicopter moms trying to get the last appointment for their snowflakes to see the Easter Bunny, Grilled's Moey Xin Seng finally got himself booked for a foul. It was 0 - 5 at the break. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses, red tassles, and a Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. After 50 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Chan Ze Han who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 6. That was his third goal of the match - a hattrick for Chan Ze Han! That's the name of the game! The visitors added to their lead 51 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by Grilled's Gilbert Webb slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 7. One, two, three goals! That completed a hattrick for Gilbert Webb. AH! AH! AH! After 55 minutes, Grilled's Moey Xin Seng burst through the central defense and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 8. RekarajoK1's León Sanmartín was shown a yellow card after 64 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The head of Bilal Mohammad Harun connected with a beautiful corner kick after 66 minutes. He wasn't shooting, though, but rather passing to Sølve Lunde of Grilled who buried the shot for 0 - 9. Given a free kick from a ways out after 67 minutes, Grilled sent an arching ball into the penalty box. It was headed clear, but Chan Ze Han was waiting just outside the area and fired it home to make it 0 - 10. Some fine one-twos on the left led to a Grilled goal with 68 minutes gone, making it 0 - 11. Teo Chuan Yong was noted down as the scorer. With the clock showing 70 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Kalle ter Berg looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for 吴 (Wu) 敬龙 (Jinglong), though he would have liked to continue. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Moey Xin Seng reluctantly made way for Chu Xin Lee. 85 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Vikram Mudaliar came on for Kalki Parvathaneni. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 4 beyond the regular 90 minutes. The match ends 0 - 11. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 75 percent possession of the ball.

Most important RekarajoK1 player was Tomo Janković. Good thing Vladimir Eltsov isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance. Grilled's top performer was clearly Chan Ze Han. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Gilbert Webb today.
