Curiosity 4 - 2 Grilled

Clear skies welcomed the 75308 spectators who had made their way to Yagami High Sport Arena. Gavin Woolliams was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guttormur Funding and Giovanni 'Mafiaoso' Scagliarini. The following players had been chosen by Curiosity: Paladino - Nakamura, Wentowski, Sze Tze - Kurmaku, Zahreddine, De Yeng, Grétarsson, Eng - Stips, Hatami Nia.

Grilled's starters: Salmiņš - Panigrahi, Carapaica - Kannan, Xin Lee, Xin Seng, Kamel, Parvathaneni - Mazhud, Mudaliar, Ze Han.

Random Curiosity FC fielded a 3-5-2 lineup. For Grilled Birds, the formation of choice was 2-5-3. Grilled used their divine (+5) (25) ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Han 'Solo' De Yeng almost seemed to dance around Salah Kamel, his movements were so smooth. Unfortunately for Curiosity, his finish ended up on the wrong side of the post. 32 minutes into the game, Chan Ze Han had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 33 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from Ingvi Grétarsson, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. Despite hurting his left foot at the 34 minute mark, Ty Nakamura decided to keep playing. Nicola Paladino's name was chanted throughout the stadium after he made a fantastic save from Chu Xin Lee's shot from the left 38 minutes into the match. Remmelt Stips unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Grilled tied it all up, 40 minutes in, after a spectacular goal by Salah Kamel, who miraculously broke through the home side's central defence, making it 1 - 1. At 42 minutes played, Mateusz Wentowski came in from the right with the intention of giving Curiosity the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when Chan Ze Han slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against Nicola Paladino, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. 1 - 1 was the score after the first half. Curiosity enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

After 59 minutes, Remmelt Stips came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving Curiosity the lead. 60 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Kalki Parvathaneni gave Heng Dong Chu a quick hug as he left the field. With 61 minutes played, the visitors could have drawn level after Chu Xin Lee came through the middle, but his shot went wide. Grilled were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Grilled levelled the score after 66 minutes to make it 2 - 2, as Vikram Mudaliar struck home after a fine midfield combination through the centre, which left him completely unmarked. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Grilled substitution. Teo Chuan Yong came on for Moey Xin Seng. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, Chan Ze Han took over the role of being the Grilled captain. 74 minutes in, Curiosity's Ujkan Kurmaku received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Mateusz Wentowski gave Curiosity the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 3 - 2 Ziad 'Zizou' Zahreddine wanted to play on, but the Curiosity coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 80 minutes into the game by Louie Knight. With Ziad 'Zizou' Zahreddine no longer on the pitch, Ingvi Grétarsson became the new set pieces taker. Bhavya Panigrahi would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. Sølve Lunde entered the game for Grilled as the match clock showed 89 minutes. As Bhavya Panigrahi exited the field, Teo Chuan Yong volunteered to be the new set pieces taker. The referee announced 2 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Curiosity scored another to make it 4 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for Ang Sze Tze after 89 minutes. The match ends 4 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Curiosity, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Curiosity's top performer was clearly Falagh Hatami Nia. However, Ty Nakamura made a disastrous appearance. Chan Ze Han performed admirably for Grilled. Shekar Kannan was a disappointment, however.
