The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while Albo Hospicio F.C. has decided to play a 4-5-1 lineup. Grilled mostly ignored the flanks in favor of their mythical (17) ability to attack in the middle. After 29 minutes, Hospiciano's
Lindomar Bandeira made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1.
Bhavya Panigrahi's free kick after 30 minutes should have scored for Grilled, but the visitors' keeper just managed to get a hand on it. The referee showed Hospiciano's
Nicola Soravia the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 58 percent of possession.
As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution.
Chia Kwang Tse reluctantly made way for
Lim An Keng. After 69 minutes, the Hospiciano players received new instructions from their manager on how to stay in control of the game. With the clock showing 70 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board.
Rendert van den Bogaard looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for
Genaro Lara, though he would have liked to continue. Hospiciano's
Ricardo Garay was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 70 minutes. 71 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Hospiciano substitution.
Moncho Cienfuegos came on for
Kürşat Özkaya. After a foul with 72 minutes played, Grilled were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area.
Bhavya Panigrahi evened the score out 1 to 1. After 75 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving
Chad Thach off.
Paulino Trindade took his place. 75 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game.
Bilal Mohammad Harun gave
Enrique Baena a quick hug as he left the field. MY GOD, KING!
Enrique Baena JUST GAVE A DEFENDER AN RKO OUT OF NOWHERE! MY GOD ALMIGHTY HE'S BROKEN IN HALF! Grilled are going to have to play the rest of the game a man down! The fourth official announced that there would be 1 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. The match ends 1 - 1. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses, red tassles, and a Disgustin tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. Grilled's top performer was clearly
Chu Xin Lee. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Paulino Trindade seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Hospiciano's best player was
Sergio Undurraga. Speaking of stinking up the place,
Pedro Murillo sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
