The teams stopped and stared at each other - it was like they were looking in a mirror, since they both lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Erftstadt-Boys went for a narrow approach, using their extra-terrestrial (16) ability to focus their attacks down the middle. Using their extra-terrestrial (16) skill, Grilled pushed their attacks towards the wings. Erftstadt-Boys players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 7 minutes cheers broke out as Yaba Qadan found his way through the guests' central defensive line, rattling the 1 - 0 goal in off the woodwork for Erftstadt-Boys. After more pushing and shoving than a pack of helicopter moms trying to get the last appointment for their snowflakes to see the Easter Bunny, Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan finally got himself booked for a foul. Joe Reece finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just over the home side's keeper, making the score 1 - 1 15 minutes into the game. Erftstadt-Boys's Kenalemang Tshekiso rushed past his defender and should have scored, but the finish was just wide, taking some paint off the post as it went out. The referee showed Grilled's Damian Hutter the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says A mistake by the home side's central defense after 58 minutes allowed Lim An Keng to score for Grilled. The visitors have the lead, 1 - 2. After 60 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Mohd Marzuki Khairul off. Federico Parada took his place. As the 60 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Gandhik Chitre reluctantly made way for Orest Tokarz. Grilled were determined to attack down the sideline and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favor of the wings. With 61 minutes played, Grilled put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was Federico Parada. After 66 minutes, Giancarlo Evandri of Erftstadt-Boys had a good opportunity to reduce the away team's lead with a chance created through the middle, but he scuffed the ball harmlessly past the post. Chad Thach brought the corner down with his chest before whipping it to Aw Keng Chuan who had the whole net open before him, but his attempt hit the post. 70 minutes into the match, Erftstadt-Boys's Niko Kleber chased down a ball sent down the right and put it into the back of the net, narrowing the score to 2 - 3. 85 minutes into the game, Grilled wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Joe Reece gave Ibnou Balde a quick hug as he left the field. The players were tired, but when the referee announced that there would be 2 minutes of added time, they welcomed the extra opportunity to make an impact. Markus Ekstedt of Erftstadt-Boys received a yellow card after 89 minutes for unsportsmanlike behavior. The match ends 2 - 3. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses and a Never2L8 tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. Claus-Peter Kleinhampl performed admirably for Erftstadt-Boys. I can't remember Markus Ekstedt ever having a worse night than he just had. Grilled's best player was Chan Ze Han. Speaking of stinking up the place, Damian Hutter sure smelled like the bottom of Batman's shoe after a night of crimefighting in Gotham.
