In a Premier League feast, Chelsea showed a strong home advantage by sweeping past Ewarton 6-0. However, the tide turned in the second half as an internal strife crept in. Chelsea had a 12-yard chance to take a penalty, but Madouki intervened and refused to hand the ball over. Cana Garrincha intervened and tried to calm the situation down, mediating between Galpenma and Madoki. It was at this point that Nicholas Jackson attempted to steal the ball and Galpenma skillfully pushed his opponent away to score a try. After the match, Galpenma downplayed the incident, saying that everyone had opened up and laughed it off.

At the time, three people on the field were competing for the right to take the 12-yard penalty, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. Facing the media, Galpenma confessed, "We were up 4-0 at the time, and I can totally understand someone wanting to take the penalty, but I naturally had to shoulder the responsibility as the first choice scorer. In fact, we didn't argue and both laughed at the end."

Chelsea's leader Putjetenu backed Galpenma: "I have great confidence in him. 12 yards will never happen again, it's the last time in this department. If anyone does it again, I will not condone it. I have made it clear to everyone that Galpenma is the centerpiece of the team." Having made all nine of his 12-yard penalties in the Premier League this year, Galpenma has certainly gained the trust of the Pooch.

It's worth noting that Galpenma is also battling Manchester City striker Aynin Chalainte for the honor of top scorer. Both have scored 20 goals in the Premier League this year, and the Chelsea faithful are looking forward to sharing the 12-yard glory with Galpenma.
