Grilled Birds trundled out to the pitch in a 2-5-3 formation. The visitors, FC Conthey 05, chose to start the game with a 4-4-2 lineup. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their world class (13) ability to great effect. For their match strategy, Conthey 05 had decided to use their magical (18) ability to counter-attack whenever possible. 14 minutes into the game, Conthey 05 seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a poor (3) level of organization. Grilled made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Chad Thach completely alone with keeper Martin Deravet, who made a spectacular block. Conthey 05's counter-attacks were lethal to the opposing defense, allowing Eike Woschitz to score easily from the right side for 0 - 1. After 25 minutes of play, Gandhik Chitre evened things up for Grilled with an impressive goal coming up the middle. 1 - 1. With 30 minutes played, Egemen Dinçer Ferzan came in from the right with the intention of giving Grilled the lead, but his rocket of a shot could only rattle the crossbar. The guests took the lead 35 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in 陈 (Chen) 宇利 (Yuli) scoring to make it 1 - 2. A couple of hard elbows 37 minutes in resulted in a penalty being awarded to the home team and Bhavya Panigrahi put the ball into the back of the net without any difficulty. That tied the score up at 2 - 2. 2 - 2 was the halftime score. 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. Conthey 05's coach went over the strategy again during the break, and after that his players had passable (6) organization. 46 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Moey Xin Seng gave Kalki Parvathaneni a quick hug as he left the field. It was obvious that Grilled had instructions to attack in the middle when they directed a break on the wing into the center of the park. Grilled's Chan Ze Han tried to break through the middle repeatedly, but the visitors' defenders were just too alert. Grilled took the lead 56 minutes in, as Aw Keng Chuan broke through on the left and put his shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper, bringing the score to 3 - 2. After 59 minutes, Kalki Parvathaneni sprinted between the opposing defenders and laid the ball off to Gandhik Chitre, whose shot was saved by the keeper. Grilled players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. Grilled's Gandhik Chitre saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates 70 minutes in. After 70 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Aw Keng Chuan off. Chia Kwang Tse took his place. Damian Hutter should probably have put his team up another goal after 72 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by Martin Deravet kept the visitors in the game. Ivan Pometkov showed why he is feared on the counter-attack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for Conthey 05 after 73 minutes to make the score 3 - 3. 77 minutes in, Conthey 05 appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only weak (4). The bleachers were silenced after 78 minutes when Conthey 05's Eike Woschitz put the guests ahead 3 - 4, following an attack on the right. With 79 minutes played, Conthey 05's Uriele Petaros received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. 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. The match ends 3 - 4. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chan Ze Han. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Damian Hutter seemed to stumble all over the pitch. Most important Conthey 05 player was 陈 (Chen) 宇利 (Yuli). Speaking of stinking up the place, Martin Deravet sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
