Björkris 0 - 3 Grilled

Björkris BK trundled out to the pitch in a 3-5-2 formation. The visitors, Grilled Birds, chose to start the game with a 2-5-3 lineup. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their divine (+6) (26) ability to great effect. 8 minutes in Grilled probably could have turned their free kick into a shot, but went for a cross instead. Unfortunately,
Chan Ze Han jumped too late and the ball was redirected out for a goal kick.
Benjamin Straka looked great 15 minutes in after stopping a shot by the visitors'
Teo Chuan Yong. A mistake by the home side's central defense after 17 minutes allowed
Moey Xin Seng to score for Grilled. The visitors have the lead, 0 - 1. The referee showed Björkris's
Guido Gambelli the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 59 percent possession of the ball.
Moey Xin Seng came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but his attempted chip over
Benjamin Straka just kept rising and landed in the relieved crowd. Grilled's
Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 52 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 0 - 2. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! Björkris's
Stefan 'Tryffelsvinet' Eriksson was shown a yellow card after 59 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
After 60 minutes, Grilled's
Chu Xin Lee burst through the central defense and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. 61 minutes into the match,
Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. 70 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Moey Xin Seng gave
Vikram Mudaliar a quick hug as he left the field.
Chan Ze Han was handed the Grilled captain's armband. As the 80 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Douglas Carapaica reluctantly made way for
Gilbert Webb. The match ends 0 - 3. 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 Björkris player was without a doubt
Basil Afoury. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Vít Bolek seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Grilled's best player was
Chan Ze Han. Good thing
Kalki Parvathaneni isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance.
