The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while FC Camdonia has decided to play a 3-4-3 lineup. Grilled went for a narrow approach, using their divine (+6) (26) ability to focus their attacks down the middle. A questionable penalty after 13 minutes gave the home side the lead, 1 - 0. The visitors' goalie didn't stand a chance as Vikram Mudaliar knocked the ball home. Vikram Mudaliar increased Grilled's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. With 32 minutes played, a typically brave header by Grilled's Bilal Mohammad Harun from Salah Kamel's centered ball looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach, making the score 3 - 0. Heng Dong Chu could have put Grilled up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 33 minutes. Camdonia's Eduard Stloukal was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Moey Xin Seng increased Grilled's lead to 4 - 0, connecting with a hooked ball from the right. The away fans are claiming handball, to no avail. It was 4 - 0 at the break. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 68 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.

Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle instead. Things were going from bad to worse for the visitors. Vikram Mudaliar was able to squirm through the central defense after 53 minutes and score, bringing the lead to 5 - 0. At that, Vikram Mudaliar was noted down for a hattrick! Vikram Mudaliar was not content with his team's lead, and tried to extend it 55 minutes into the game after a nice run through the middle, but his shot went wide. 56 minutes into the match Camdonia's Marius-Dan Chipciu was being cautioned by the referee when he blurted out Grilled's Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud was delighted to score as he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing keeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing. 6 - 0 after 65 minutes. It was obvious that Grilled had instructions to attack in the middle when they directed a break on the wing into the center of the park. Grilled's Bilal Mohammad Harun saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates 70 minutes in. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Kalki Parvathaneni came on for Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Douglas Carapaica reluctantly made way for Gilbert Webb. After 71 minutes, the Camdonia coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Jobst Heinrich Lagers off. Vladimir Shanaev took his place. 89 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Salah Kamel gave Radovan Jaška a quick hug as he left the field. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. 90 minutes had passed when Grilled put themselves up 7 - 0 after the visiting defenders lost the ball to Gilbert Webb, who came up from the left and proceeded to easily go around the goalkeeper and knock the ball home. The match ends 7 - 0. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 70 percent of possession.

Chan Ze Han performed admirably for Grilled. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Radovan Jaška seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Camdonia's best player was Tishan Markham. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Eduard Stloukal today.
