Weather conditions were pretty good for football today. Lineup: Germanakos - Panigrahi, Webb - Baena, Mohammad Harun, Keng Chuan, Parvathaneni, Trindade - Ze Han, Velho, Xin Seng.

They fielded: H�nicke - Yegan, Meredith, Zoffmann - Rameau, de Gouveia, Cadete, Wollesen - Pelfort, Pojasek, Heim.

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 3-4-3. Bilal Mohammad Harun's name was chanted throughout the stadium after his goal in minute 17 following a run up the middle gave Grilled the 1 - 0 lead. The visitors got just what they'd been looking for after 28 minutes when Tyrone Meredith received a pass from the left and buried it in the bottom corner, leveling it at 1 - 1. Grilled had a good opportunity to take the lead as Aw Keng Chuan came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Marko H�nicke. A mistake by the home side's central defense after 39 minutes allowed Dariusz Pojasek to score for Jordrup. The visitors have the lead, 1 - 2. 40 minutes into the game, Kalki Parvathaneni came close to leveling the score with a dangerous shot from the center of the area that went just over the bar. With 41 minutes played, Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. Grilled tried to even things up by sending a long ball through the middle, but the visitors' defense easily read the pass. 1 - 2 was the halftime score. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 56 percent possession in this half was spot on!

46 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Kalki Parvathaneni gave Lim An Keng a quick hug as he left the field. As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Jos� Luiz Velho reluctantly made way for Prokop Mottl. After 46 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Bilal Mohammad Harun off. Chia Kwang Tse took his place. Grilled's Moey Xin Seng attempted to equalize 52 minutes into the game, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defense dealt with the rebound easily. Grilled's Enrique Baena was shown a yellow card after 69 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Some fine one-twos on the left led to a Jordrup goal with 70 minutes gone, making it 1 - 3. Klaus Heim was noted down as the scorer. 75 minutes in Jordrup probably could have turned their free kick into a shot, but went for a cross instead. Unfortunately, Klaus Heim jumped too late and the ball was redirected out for a goal kick. After 76 minutes, Jordrup began to show their lack of experience and they threatened to wilt under the heavy pressure from their opposition. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper Marko H�nicke and his left defense could have resulted in a goal for Grilled, but Chan Ze Han's finish was way too meek. At 83 minutes into the game, Grilled's Moey Xin Seng cooly knocked the ball home after an impressive run down the left, reducing the visitors' lead to 2 - 3. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 2 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 2 - 3. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses, red tassles, and a Millinocket Moose tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chan Ze Han. Speaking of stinking up the place, Paulino Trindade sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham. Most important Jordrup player was Oriol Pelfort. Good thing Kim Wollesen isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance.
