Both teams came out with a similar approach to the match, having chosen to start with a 2-5-3 formation. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their divine (+7) (27) ability to great effect. A mistake by the home side's central defense after 28 minutes allowed Bilal Mohammad Harun to score for Grilled. The visitors have the lead, 0 - 1. After 32 minutes of play, Eddy Santander evened things up for ALMANCIL with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. Grilled took the lead 40 minutes into the game, making the score 1 - 2 after some elegant movement down the middle. Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud was the scorer. 41 minutes into the game, Aleandro Portera came close to leveling the score with a dangerous shot from the center of the area that went just over the bar. 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 55 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.

After 50 minutes, Hernâni Pereira rushed down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the 2 - 2 goal. 2 - 3 was the score after 52 minutes, when Grilled's Kalki Parvathaneni cut through the central defense and pounded one in. Grilled's Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud received a ball slotted perfectly through the home side's central defense after 64 minutes, and chipped it past the helpless keeper to increase the lead to 2 - 4. The away fans won't regret traveling for this one! After 70 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Kalki Parvathaneni off. Heng Dong Chu took his place. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Gilbert Webb reluctantly made way for Sølve Lunde. After 70 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for Chan Ze Han who increased Grilled's lead to 2 - 5. Juha Järviluoto kept the home side in the game with a magnificent save when Bhavya Panigrahi delivered an almost perfect free kick to the far post. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 1 minutes of added time, they welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. The match ends 2 - 5. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 54 percent of possession.

ALMANCIL's best player was Margil Perashi. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Francesco Colzada seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Grilled's top performer was clearly Chan Ze Han. Speaking of stinking up the place, Chu Xin Lee sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
