Resani United started the game in a 3-5-2 formation, whereas Grilled Birds lined up in a 2-5-3. Grilled used their divine (+6) (26) ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the field. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 17 minutes into the match, and
Bernie Egan 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. 23 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as
Bernie Egan finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular bicycle kick. After 25 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Bernie Egan who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 3. That was his third goal of the match - a hattrick for
Bernie Egan! That's the name of the game! The visitors'
Bernie Egan took advantage of a mix-up between the home side's goalie and center backs 30 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Grilled. The home fans looked somber as they watched their team give up another goal, this one coming from their right as
Heng Dong Chu put one through the keeper's legs. 0 - 5 after 31 minutes. 0 - 5 was the halftime score. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 61 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.
As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Bernie Egan reluctantly made way for
Vikram Mudaliar. After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving
Salah Kamel off.
Kalki Parvathaneni took his place. After 70 minutes, Grilled's
Vikram Mudaliar burst through the central defense and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 6. Some fine one-twos on the left led to a Grilled goal with 72 minutes gone, making it 0 - 7.
Chan Ze Han was noted down as the scorer. It was announced by the fourth official that he estimated stoppage time to be around 2 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 0 - 7. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 63 percent of possession.
RU's top performer was clearly
Titus Kasami. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Bernardo Suñer seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Grilled's best player was
Chan Ze Han. Speaking of stinking up the place,
Kalki Parvathaneni sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
