The rain was pouring down at the stadium today. The wet pitch made it difficult for technical or quick players to stand out. For once, the players relying on physical strength gained the upper hand. Lineup: Germanakos - Keng Chuan, Hutter - Trindade, Kwang Tse, An Keng, Khairul, Parada - Reece, Ming Xin, Tokarz.

They fielded: Frankiewicz - Soares, Nessgren, L�vli - Rimbeaux, Badgi, Timera, Zal�n - Grunebaum, Batham.

The teams had chosen different formations for the match. The home team, Grilled Birds, went for a 2-5-3, while FC Margouillat has decided to play a 3-4-2 lineup. Margouillat's Elnathan Grunebaum showed his experience after 3 minutes, as he expertly set himself up to take advantage of a rebound off the crossbar, but his shot was punched harmlessly out of the way. The long pass from Grilled's Damian Hutter caught the defense out of position. Phua Ming Xin collected the ball with the goal as open as McDonald's on a Friday night. 1 - 0. Elnathan Grunebaum tied the game at 1 - 1 after 8 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. Federico Parada tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 37 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past speedy El�sio Soares. Grilled made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left Phua Ming Xin completely alone with keeper Lucjan Frankiewicz, who made a spectacular block. Grilled had a good opportunity to take the lead as Orest Tokarz came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Lucjan Frankiewicz. 42 minutes into the game, Margouillat seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate (5) level of organization. Chia Kwang Tse 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 43 minutes into the match, 2 to 1. There'll be no Turkish Delight after the match for the keeper! It was 2 - 1 at the break. Grilled did a good job holding on to the ball, with 56 percent of possession. We'll be back after these interminable commercial messages.

Margouillat's coach went over the strategy again during the break, and after that his players had solid (7) organization. 50 minutes had passed when Grilled put themselves up 3 - 1 after the visiting defenders lost the ball to Chia Kwang Tse, who came up from the left and proceeded to easily go around the goalkeeper and knock the ball home. Grilled's Phua Ming Xin had an excellent opportunity 68 minutes in, shooting after bringing down a ball from the right, but he missed the goal by miles! Grilled added another goal to their lead as Paulino Trindade struck home for 4 - 1 after an attack from the left set him up unmarked in front of the keeper. 78 minutes into the game, Margouillat had difficulty finding their positions and their organization dropped to passable (6). A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased Grilled's lead to 5 - 1 as Joe Reece finished it off clinically, firing the shot from a terrible angle. With 81 minutes played, Grilled's Joe Reece received a yellow card for challenging a play with his cleats first. Grilled's Aw Keng Chuan was delighted to score as he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing keeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing. 6 - 1 after 82 minutes. The referee decided to let play continue for an additional 3 beyond the regular 90 minutes. The match ends 6 - 1. 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. Most important Grilled player was Mohd Marzuki Khairul. Even six year old fans were wincing at the poor play by Damian Hutter today. The most outstanding Margouillat player was without a doubt Famara Timera. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because Lucjan Frankiewicz seemed to stumble all over the pitch.
