The Coach of the 'Panthera's' were instructing every loophole he could point out to avoid provoking their opponent, else they might start using extreme violence due to frustration.
He also noted them to avoid positioning in front of any player for long and pass if there is no chance for cutting in.
No extending in a position for more than 30 seconds!!!
They had limited substitutes, so no one could afford to get injured.
The 'Meteors' ignored rules as per their wish, so better be careful.
As the whistle blew and the meeting was over, everyone scattered all over the field in their respected positions. Seb stood as the main striker.
She never pays any attention to the crowd whenever she's concentrating in a game, but another individual forced her to steal a glance.
Iven's eyes were keenly fixed on Seb as he waved a thumb's up at her.
Seb quickly snatched back her eyes.
Focus!!! Not the time now!!!
She's probably going to be the target!
With another whistle, 2 players of opponent teams came forth on the ring as the game started with the toss!
Cheers deafened the stadium as the players went in motion.
Ryler is a complete hulk when she plays.
It was her who header the ball and passed it towards herself, and sprinted.
If it would have been a fair match, getting what she needed...she would be unbeatable!
Her speed was tremendous than others.The transformation was indeed incredible.
Her digital tactics were formed on spot and was the best!!!
But unfortunately, her strategy was blocked.
None the 'Meteors' maintained any of their position.
No body expected that to happen at all.
Else Ryler could have easily dribbled it out through them.
2 of the 'Meteors' suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood guarding.
Keeping the fact aside that they were so enormous, Ryler could have easily tackled them.
Her Coach was constantly screaming to pass escape, but she didn't attend on it!
Her hesitation was sensed a bit.
The 2 players stood and just waited for Ryler to approach them.
And which didn't seem right.
Ryler however never back down when challenged!
She forwarded with the ball rolling before her shoes, with a kick start.
She had her methods figured out.
It won't be hard.
But suddenly, before she could predict, the ball was already gone and stolen from her feet!!!
With another attempt to try to gain it back,as Ryler braced herself and lurked in, to her surprised shock, an enormous pain shoot through her lower left limb!!!
She almost felt spikes digging into her flesh.
Without any view or idea of her situation, she could only clasp her limb, led out a sharp cry and tumble down on her back!
Her spirits, which knew that the game was more important and she can't drop a foul just yet, forced her up on her feet within a second ignoring the hellish pain!
It wasn't even 10 minutes, and the real purpose of their opponent was already starting to expose.
Few of the 'Panthera's' including Seb had noticed it all.
They knew what was incoming because it had already started! Ryler being the first victim.
Till now even Iven had his gaze fixed on Seb, but the incident couldn't escape his sharp eyes. He immediately knew that the game was going to be messy and something was completely wrong.
Even though he wasn't aware of the 'Meteors' style, he needed no time to figure it out within 10 minutes of the game.
His mind was alerted!
The ball was emerging towards Seb, his mind went alert!!!
She needs to be careful!
Seb was in to action when the opponent player was almost within her range along with the ball.
She realised that she was only kicking thin air when she turned around and saw that Seb had already fled with the ball without her noticing.
Her skills were alien to them, so was her impossible pace to opponent players eyes!
As she covered few centimetres, 3 'Meteors' stood as a barrier in front of her.
Seb knew it wasn't possible for her to break through that.
They were really targeting her!
Within a blink of eye, she passed the ball beside without even looking.
Talk about perfect coordination!!!
Petra was there right on time to receive the ball.
After Seb had done her part, she quickly fled forward because she had predicted the next move already. She had to fix her position near the goal. Her other 2 teammates were already on spot.
Perfect strategy without any error.
Petra was surrounded by the players which were around Seb before.
With a smirk, she flawlessly sneaked the ball through them at Seb.
All could see that the 'Meteors' played without any planning whatsoever. They just blindly ran towards whom the ball made it's way. Let them continue, and it's only a matter when they taste sand.
The goalkeeper of the 'Meteors' screamed at the players to drag their attention at Seb.
But Seb was on her move!!!
Without a second hesitation, she shot the ball from her range with all strength possible.
The keeper was exactly where she shot it.
It was oddly easy for her to block it!
But she didn't have to. The ball itself bounced back as it got hit from the post. The Keeper jumped at it in vain.
As the ball was emerging at Seb and a sly smirk appeared on her lips, that's when she cracked all Seb's plan.
It was luring trick, nothing else!
It was too late by the time the ball was under Seb's feet, with the Keeper lying still on her bottoms.
Seb swung her leg with a horrendous force at the other direction of the goal!
The ball flew right into the net without another barrier!
Almost 20 minutes, and it was a score for the 'Panthera's' .
The audience cracked their voices yelling and cheering for the team.
Seb threw a punch at the air. Old habits die hard.
Petra high-fived with her and other teammates hugged her.
As Ryler came, Seb approached her, with her stare at her lower limb.
It was bruised and was bleeding a little.
She didn't forget the earlier incident.
She looked at Ryler with a cold gaze. Ryler looked away with a defeated look.
"Look out Seb", she said,"This is the point when they start to lose. They have no mercy at all".
"I'll get back at them for this", Seb said hoarsely.
"It would be wise not to", warned Ryler.
They all spread around the field with another whistle, her eyes turning to her person out of the blue.
Even though her mood went furious, as she noticed that Iven was staring at her, it immediately put her out.
But his gaze seemed cautious instead of appreciation.
He pointed at his eyes with his 2 fingers first, and then pointed at Seb.
It was a signal to be careful. That's right, even he had noticed the foul play.
Seb signalled him by a 'okay'.
Then Iven made another 'thumbs up' to praise the way she scored, which was successful in stealing a faint smile from Seb.
Iven passed a warm smile himself.
