Grilled Birds fielded a 2-5-3 lineup. For Churchhill United, the formation of choice was a 3-5-2. Grilled seemed to prefer attacking in the middle, using their divine (+3) (23) ability to great effect. Making his way up the middle after 8 minutes,
Gústav Thoroddsen almost managed to sneak a goal past the visitors' keeper, but
Lukas Sunk was ready and blocked it to keep the score level.
郭 (Guo) 剑方 (Jianfang) seemed to fly off the ground as the corner came into the box, but his header went straight to the man on the post. After 26 minutes, CHHC's
Axel Aymard made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. The ball was in the back of the home team's net yet again after 32 minutes, but this time the referee called the goal back because
Axel Aymard had knocked a member of the opposing team to the ground while the play occurred down the middle of the field.
Nino Grđan could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. 36 minutes into the match,
Mehmood Shirani came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Halftime score was 0 - 1. The battle in midfield was tight, with possession split evenly between the teams.
Grilled tried to even things up by sending a long ball through the middle, but the visitors' defense easily read the pass. After 65 minutes,
Brian 'Was Born' Reddy rushed down the middle past the away team's defenders to score the 1 - 1 goal. Grilled's
Gústav Thoroddsen was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
The guests took the lead 84 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in
Estanislao Tejada scoring to make it 1 - 2. Big paper red cards were being held up by the opposing supporters with 86 minutes on the clock after
Florian Winkler's mistimed tackle from behind. The referee only showed the CHHC player a yellow card though. As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 1 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 1 - 2. Neither team had an advantage in possession this half.
Most important Grilled player was
Gústav Thoroddsen. You can tell it was nickel beer night yesterday at the local bar because
Dimitris Germanakos seemed to stumble all over the pitch. The most outstanding CHHC player was without a doubt
Florian Winkler. I can't remember
Hasan Maksut ever having a worse night than he just had.
