The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while Fc Shrews has decided to play a 4-4-2 lineup. Grilled clearly preferred using their divine (+6) (26) ability to attack in the middle today. Like the adage Antonio Gerardo Pongolini acted with superior experience when, with 2 minutes gone, he predicted a pass, intercepted it, and then finished off with a goal. 0 - 1 for Shrews! Grilled's Chan Ze Han almost tied things up after 11 minutes when he broke through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. Lauri Viitanen got left behind when Grilled's Bernie Egan made a sudden rush forward in minute 34, finishing it off with a clinical strike. 1 - 1! Bilal Mohammad Harun gave Grilled the 2 - 1 lead, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball at the keeper's right post – what a clinical finish! Grilled's Moey Xin Seng swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defense were able to clear the ball. Grilled added another goal to their lead as Chan Ze Han struck home for 3 - 1 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. After 39 minutes, the excellent pass from the wing by Grilled's Heng Dong Chu reached Bilal Mohammad Harun's head, and he is not one to miss such an opportunity - 4 - 1. Bernie Egan could have put Grilled up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 40 minutes. 4 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 72 percent of possession.

With the clock showing 46 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Salah Kamel looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for Kalki Parvathaneni, though he would have liked to continue. As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Kalle ter Berg reluctantly made way for Chu Xin Lee. Grilled solidified their lead at the 55 minute mark, as Chu Xin Lee snaked the ball through the central line of defense and finished for 5 - 1. After 59 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Bernie Egan might have resulted in another goal for Grilled. However, Julio Madrigal made a spectacular save. Gilbert Webb struck a 30 yard free kick home after 74 minutes. 6 - 1 for the home team. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 6 - 1. 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. The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chan Ze Han. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Kalki Parvathaneni today. Shrews's best player was Henri Perkkalainen. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Lauri Viitanen seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
