Soon the ball was kicked off and the players sprung into action. Khai sprinted down the field, dribbling past the opposition's defense and passing the ball to Trent. Trent made a quick move and passed the ball to Henry who was running down the right side of the field. The Strikers' defense was caught off guard as Henry used his speed and agility to maneuver past them, sending a crisp pass to Declan who was waiting in the box.
The crowd erupted with excitement as Declan took the shot, but the Strikers' keeper, Ryan, managed to save it with a diving stop. The Raiders didn't give up, with Khai and Trent pushing the offense, working the ball up the field. Phillip and Donald tried to steal the ball for the Strikers, but Austin was quick to react and made a crucial save, keeping the Raiders in the lead.
