Ray ran with the ball. The way to the opponent's half of the field was free of any obstacle. With Ray's run, the stardust team quickly got into position. Using their numbers to pressure the four defenders of the Giants.
The defenders of Giant FC would not be receiving any help this time around because their midfielders had joined their strikers to pressure the Stars, which ended in an absolute failure, now they had to face the consequence of their action.
The defenders were currently sweating buckets under the pressure. They kept on asking themselves what mess they had actually gotten themselves into.
The Giants were not able to stop the 7 stars when they were six, was it now that they were Four that they stood a chance?
Absolutely not, their brains were not even able to register, talk more stop the charge of the bunch of angry stars. 'Shit.'
What happened next completely crumpled the little formation the Giants had, It could only be described as a game of ' tic tac toe '.
The Stars continuously passed the ball from one player to the other, starting with Ray.
By the time the Stars completed their charade, there was only the Goal keeper to beat. But how could they not even manage to do this with seven of their players running towards the Goal keeper. Even the Giant's Goalie brain froze when he saw the numbers, he was left alone to wonder where all his defenders were. Meanwhile, the so called defenders were currently on the floor, thinking of life.
How had they become like this?
But alas, there was no time to reminisce about the past, They were not that Super hero that controlled time stone, and so they could not go back in time. Time waits for man, it keeps running, and so did the Stars.
By the time the Calvary of seven, John was somehow in possession of the ball. Steadying himself, he was definitely not allowed to miss this, It could be said that more than a few people were willing to kill to have this opportunity, and him losing it was like giving himself a death sentence.
Taking a deep breath, John put all the training he had done on striking into this one shot. It was make it or break it for the Stars.
Boooooooommmm
John finally hits the ball. Everyone could only speculate on the amount of force that was exerted on the ball at that moment. Even the cameras were not able to follow the ball. The camera .en noticed the ball was moving faster than they could respond.
The ball passed the Goal keeper, crossed the Goal line and entered the net through the top right corner.
The Giant Goal keeper stretched all he could but he still couldn't stop the ball from entering.
Even after entering, the ball still stretched the net almost to it's breaking point, indicating Just how much power had been placed in that single shot.
Before the Giant Keeper could 'Touch down.', the score board had already changed. It was as though the people Manning the thing were expecting the goal all this while.
Through the short run, the score line had been Updated.
The Giants were not able to get their heads around what had just transpired. ' How is this happening' their captain thought, all his smugness had long since disappeared.
The particular guy who had happily handed over the ball to Ray, was now soaked in his own tears
. He knew that after this match he would be lucky if he could still be able to still be on the team.
This one goal had sent him into the abyss of nothingness. It would take a miracle to get him out. The worst case was that with how many people currently recording this moment, His career could as well be over.
'OVER.'
