Clouds darkened the skies at the stadium today. The following players took the field: Germanakos - Keng Chuan, Hutter - Ferzan, Thach, Kwang Tse, An Keng, Khairul - Chitre, Ze Han, Reece.

Lineup: M�glov - Galchev, Ahmedi - Carotenuto, Angelov, Datzov, Olsen, Fremiot - Despotov, Medarov, Hristov.

The coaches were in sync today, as both teams lined up in a 2-5-3 formation. Today, Grilled's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks, taking advantage of their titanic (15) ability. After 13 minutes cheers broke out as Joe Reece found his way through the guests' central defensive line, rattling the 1 - 0 goal in off the woodwork for Grilled. Coming in from the right, Lim An Keng almost managed to score another goal for Grilled, but his header was kept out by the lightning fast reflexes of the visiting keeper. Things were going from bad to worse for the visitors. Gandhik Chitre was able to squirm through the central defense after 34 minutes and score, bringing the lead to 2 - 0. Players in Grilled heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Grilled added another goal to their lead as Mohd Marzuki Khairul struck home for 3 - 0 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. Chan Ze Han almost put Grilled ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Looks like Nate Silver was right again - his prediction that Grilled would have 65 percent possession in this half was spot on!

It was almost a goal for TheBadBats2 following Vasil Hristov's good header from a corner kick, but the fans will have to wait a little longer as the ball went wide. 58 minutes into the game, Grilled's Chad Thach tried to nail the coffin shut, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. As the 60 minute mark approached, the Grilled manager decided it was time for a substitution. Mohd Marzuki Khairul reluctantly made way for Federico Parada. With the clock showing 60 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Gandhik Chitre looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for Orest Tokarz, though he would have liked to continue. The clock read 64 minutes and things were deteriorating for the away team as Grilled scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for Joe Reece. 69 minutes into the game, TheBadBats2 wanted to bring some new energy to their game. Dimitar Angelov gave Fethullah S�erdem a quick hug as he left the field. The home team's lead was reduced to 4 - 1 after TheBadBats2's Fethullah S�erdem took advantage of a misunderstanding in the center of the defense. After a play down the right 72 minutes into the match, Grilled's Orest Tokarz unleashed a ferocious shot that smashed into the roof of the net - after going over the crossbar. A great save by keeper Rangel M�glov with 73 minutes gone kept the visitors in the game after Federico Parada struck from the left with a real cannonball. After 75 minutes, Federico Parada sprinted between the opposing defenders and laid the ball off to Orest Tokarz, whose shot was saved by the keeper. 85 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Ibnou Balde came on for Joe Reece. 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. After 89 minutes, Lim An Keng put Grilled ahead 5 - 1 when he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. The match ends 5 - 1. Let's go to the Twittersphere to see what the fans think of the game so far! says The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt 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. Most important TheBadBats2 player was Vasil Hristov. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Ivaylo Galchev seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
