*FWEEEEEEE*
The referee blew the whistle a few seconds later and signaled for team Rosenborg to take the set-piece.
Zachary had already decided to take the free-kick short since the position of the set-piece was quite a distance away from Benfica's goal. So, he just flicked the ball to Takumi Minamino, his counterpart in midfield, after hearing the whistle.
Takumi Minamino controlled the ball with a sense of urgency. Before the Benfica players could step forward to intercept him, he passed the ball back to Zachary, who had just run into space in the middle.
Zachary received the ball mid-sprint. He executed an elastico dribble to circumvent André Gomes, one of the Benfica midfielders, before continuing towards Benfica's goal. He pumped his legs like pistons of a race car as he rushed through the middle of the field until he ran into a blockade of two more Benfica players. They were Enzo Pérez and Rúben Amorim.
