It was a cloudy day at the stadium today. They fielded: Vadalà - Panigrahi, Webb - Chu Soon, Xin Seng, Chuan Yong, Mohammad Harun, Kwang Tse - Khairul, Thach, Keng Chuan.

Lineup: Vendrell - Cancel, Arroyo, Nieves - Luciano, Ortega, Ordóñez Munguira, Cabrera, Cupp - Torres, Ojeda.

It was to be a contest between two different football philosophies, since the home team started the game with a 2-5-3 formation while the visitors instead opted for a 3-5-2. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their titanic (15) ability to great effect. Using their brilliant (11) skill, Football pushed their attacks towards the wings. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, José Luis Ortega got through after 3 minutes, but the keeper deflected his shot and a defender took care of the rebound. Grilled made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Lau Chu Soon completely alone with keeper José Vendrell, who made a spectacular block. Grilled had a chance to take the lead after Lau Chu Soon's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled away as his shot went just over the bar with 32 minutes played. Grilled had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle instead. Many thought Mohd Marzuki Khairul ought to have been awarded a penalty 37 minutes into the match, as he went down trying to beat José Vendrell after an attack through the middle gave him the one-on-one opportunity. Players in Football heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Cristóbal Ojeda was in the clear after breaking through the offside trap following a Football counter-attack from the left with 38 minutes played. His neat finish made the score 0 - 1. After 39 minutes, following yet another great corner, Bilal Mohammad Harun knocked the ball to Lau Chu Soon but it was just too high and the shot came off at a bad angle. Grilled's Chia Kwang Tse attempted to equalize 41 minutes into the game, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defense dealt with the rebound easily. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 73 percent possession of the ball.

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. With 52 minutes played, Grilled's Chad Thach made a rush down the left, leaving him free to put the 1 - 1 equalizer away. Lim An Keng gave Grilled the 2 - 1 lead, as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then placed the ball at the keeper's right post – what a clinical finish! Grilled solidified their lead at the 64 minute mark, as Moey Xin Seng snaked the ball through the central line of defense and finished for 3 - 1. The home side's Chad Thach came close to extending the lead after 70 minutes. His shot came in from the right but José Vendrell managed to push it wide with his fingertips. Gilbert Webb should probably have put his team up another goal after 71 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by José Vendrell kept the visitors in the game. 75 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Paulino Trindade came on for Chad Thach. 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. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 1 beyond the regular 90 minutes. Cristóbal Ojeda of Football received a yellow card after 89 minutes for unsportsmanlike behavior. The match ends 3 - 1. Grilled set the tempo, maintaining 72 percent of possession.

Grilled's top performer was clearly Teo Chuan Yong. I can't remember Aw Keng Chuan ever having a worse night than he just had. The most outstanding Football player was without a doubt Josh Cupp. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Joseph Arroyo seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
