"BANG!"
The sound of the ball smashing against the crossbar sounded next, causing most of the Rosenborg fans to sigh with regret. Just one more inch below, and the ball would have, without a doubt, found its way into the back of the net since the tremendous force behind the shot had already rendered the keeper helpless. Even coach Johansen had already raised his arms up in the air to celebrate due to the surety of the moment.
However, it seemed like the goddess of luck wasn't on Rosenborg's side that evening. With a slight swerve at the final moment, the ball had deviated slightly from its intended course before smashing off the crossbar and bouncing back towards the box.
"Hurry up and clear the ball!"
Suddenly, the voice of Vincenzo Montella, Fiorentina's head coach, reverberated across the pitch like thunder just as the ball was about to land in the box.
