Fairly good weather for football at the stadium today. They fielded: Vadal� - Panigrahi, Webb - Chu Soon, Xin Lee, Chuan Yong, Mohammad Harun, Kwang Tse - Xin Seng, Thach, Keng Chuan.

The following players took the field: H�gh - Roux, Raising - Monguillon, Elliott, Nunes, Sacher, Puglisi - Hemmingsen, Trautner, Macoviciuc.

As the teams spread out over the pitch, it became clear that they would both be using a 2-5-3 formation today. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their mythical (17) ability to great effect. 817's game plan was to sit back and absorb the pressure, then use their passable (6) ability to break on the counter whenever possible. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle instead. Grilled's Lau Chu Soon tried to break through the middle repeatedly, but the visitors' defenders were just too alert. 817 were great at switching from defense to attack, and after 22 minutes, Alexandru 'Hope' Macoviciuc swept through the middle on a fantastic counter-attack, making the score 0 - 1. 817 almost scored after a counter-attack 24 minutes into the match, but Sounak Raising took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side netting. The visitors' Alexandru 'Hope' Macoviciuc took advantage of a mix-up between the home side's goalie and center backs 31 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for 817. Grilled's Bhavya Panigrahi took an excellent free kick and was already celebrating when the keeper just managed to push it off the post and out. After 35 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defense allowed Michael Hemmingsen to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Chad Thach tried lifting the ball over keeper Lars 'Legend' H�gh. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 67 percent of possession.

46 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Chia Kwang Tse gave Lim An Keng a quick hug as he left the field. Lau Chu Soon was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was perfectly redirected by Aw Keng Chuan, but the ball went off the post and out. The situation leading to Grilled's penalty 67 minutes into the match was definitely water cooler conversation tomorrow, but the competent Bhavya Panigrahi didn't hesitate to score, making it 1 - 3. After 75 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Chad Thach off. Paulino Trindade took his place. As the 75 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Lau Chu Soon reluctantly made way for Enrique Baena. A thrilling play through the middle after 75 minutes gave 817's Cyrille 'Gonzalez' Monguillon a chance to increase the lead, and he happily obliged. The score was then 1 - 4. The fourth official announced that there would be 2 minutes of stoppage time, giving fans a slim hope that their team could get one more attack in before this was all over. Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan managed a superb strike from the left after 90 minutes that would have left goalkeeper Lars 'Legend' H�gh without a chance, had it not hit the post. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when Moey Xin Seng tried to sneak the ball past the keeper. However, Lars 'Legend' H�gh was too alert for that! The match ends 1 - 4. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 65 percent possession of the ball.

Most important Grilled player was Teo Chuan Yong. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Aw Keng Chuan today. The most outstanding 817 player was without a doubt Alexandru 'Hope' Macoviciuc. Speaking of stinking up the place, Manuel Guilherme Nunes sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
