3424 fans braved the pouring rain at The Cooking Pot. Reynaldo Cedrés was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lourenço Fernandes Nogueira and Maxence Hérail. While a boggy pitch like this was an advantage for physical players, it really didn't help those who relied on speed or technique. Starters: Vadalà - Mangoye, Webb - Teck Fu, Kwang Tse, Chitre, Khairul, Trindade - Ferzan, Chuan Yong, Mottl.

The following players had been selected: Terres - Iliucci, Cavero, 双全 (Shuangquan), Rätsep - Matos, 顺圣 (Shunsheng), Bachor, Urioste, Kujawiński - Caputo.

The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while Old Trafford 2003 has decided to play a 4-5-1 lineup. Grilled showed off their creative tactics. Everyone had expected a shot from the free kick 26 minutes into the game, but Grilled sent the ball sideways instead, giving Chia Kwang Tse a clear look at goal with no wall in his way. He sent it through the keeper's legs for 1 - 0! The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses and a Take Me To Your Lizard tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. As the 46 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Mohd Marzuki Khairul reluctantly made way for Chad Thach. After 46 minutes, Grilled felt secure enough to make a tactical change. Gandhik Chitre and Hwang Teck Fu took each others positions on the field. It was showtime for artist Gandhik Chitre who demonstrated his technical mastery when he dribbled past Marcel Bachor and finished with a goal for Grilled to bring the scoreline to 2 - 0. Deep into his own defensive territory, Serafino Iliucci outdribbles first one, and then another, opponent, to find himself with a golden opportunity of time to turn the direction of play around for his team. With the clock showing 55 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Trafford resulted in a counter-attack that was smoothly brought under control by Bino Matos in the center of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Teo Chuan Yong increased Grilled's lead to 3 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. With the clock showing 60 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Bino Matos looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for Sovann Him, though he would have liked to continue. Grilled's coach was furious with Chad Thach after he picked up a yellow for saying one too many words to the ref. After 70 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Gilbert Webb off. Mohsen El Khateeb took his place. 80 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Radovan Jaška came on for Atang Mangoye. With things not going too well on the field, the Trafford coach made the decision to swap the positions of Igor Kujawiński and Sander Rätsep after 86 minutes. 87 minutes into the game, Trafford wanted to bring some new energy to their game. 何 (He) 顺圣 (Shunsheng) gave Rithipol Som a quick hug as he left the field. 89 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Trafford substitution. Pros Nourn came on for Marcel Bachor. It was announced by the fourth official that he estimated stoppage time to be around 1 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 3 - 0. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 72 percent possession in this half was spot on!

The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chia Kwang Tse. Good thing Mohsen El Khateeb isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance. Sander Rätsep performed admirably for Trafford. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Igor Kujawiński today.
