Grilled Birds fielded a 2-5-3 lineup. For Fortalese, the formation of choice was a 3-4-3. Grilled clearly preferred using their titanic (15) ability to attack in the middle today. For their match strategy, Fortalese had decided to use their world class (13) ability to counter-attack whenever possible. With 21 minutes played Chan Ze Han almost gave the home side the lead with a clever free kick, but the visitors' Nicholas Daquilanea was onto it, grabbing the would-be breakthrough ball. Fortalese was given a free kick 22 minutes into the match after the defenders stopped the counter-attack. Interestingly, the free kick was directed at the area just in front of the keeper instead of at the goal mouth. The attackers were relentless, and after a short struggle with his marker, Altamirando Raposo Lima could finally lay the ball to rest behind the keeper. That goal made the score 0 - 1. Hwang Teck Fu tipped the corner kick right to the keeper, who mishandled it, giving Grilled's Chad Thach a chance to knock it in for 1 - 1. Fortalese's Altamirando Raposo Lima was shown a yellow card after 34 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Making his way up the middle after 41 minutes, Chan Ze Han almost managed to sneak a goal past the visitors' keeper, but Nicholas Daquilanea was ready and blocked it to keep the score level. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Now to our celebrity commentator for a hot take. Over to you, Snoop! 60 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Chia Kwang Tse came on for Hwang Teck Fu. Damian Hutter is making an astonishing dash. The fans are chanting his name. You can hear it reverberate around the stadium. Now a manic sprint up the middle and into the box. Oh! He's thrown open the door! He's thrown open the door, shot the ball through, and slammed the door shut on Mr. Tumnus! Grilled has taken the lead 62 minutes into the match, 2 to 1. There'll be no Turkish Delight after the match for the keeper! After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Grilled's Chia Kwang Tse got himself booked. Grilled solidified their lead at the 66 minute mark, as Chan Ze Han snaked the ball through the central line of defense and finished for 3 - 1. The visitors replied 74 minutes into the game, reducing the lead to 3 - 2, as Jordi Miquel dashed up the middle and chipped the ball over the home team's keeper. 75 minutes into the game, Fortalese seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak (4). 82 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defense had to look on as Chia Kwang Tse ran straight through, knocking one home to make it 4 - 2 for Grilled. With 82 minutes played, Fortalese showed they hadn't given up and were able to reduce the score to 4 - 3 when William Zolliker got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Damian Hutter gave Gilbert Webb a quick hug as he left the field. As the 85 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Egemen Din�er Ferzan reluctantly made way for Enrique Baena. It was announced by the fourth official that he estimated stoppage time to be around 2 minutes. This meant there could still be an extra attack or two left in the match! The match ends 4 - 3. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 62 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.

Chan Ze Han performed admirably for Grilled. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Gilbert Webb today. The most outstanding Fortalese player was without a doubt Gustave Le Page. Speaking of stinking up the place, Altamirando Raposo Lima sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
