The commentator's voice rose above all the cheers across the stadium.
"Jesus Christ!"
"What did I just witness?"
"A goal of the highest quality and of the slickest dimensions!"
Joana Jenkins was going crazy. "My goodness! Football is a crazy sport!"
"Endrickdinho literally obliterated half of the whole Team Black, his composure in front of goal was crazy. The twists and turns, it was like a script directly out of the legendary Shakespeare of old's most famous works!"
"That goal was a work of art; the goalkeeper stood no chance".
"The celebration was even more legendary".
"Chills man…, I could feel literal goosebumps, now this is a game!"
"This goal changes everything!"
"The score is now 2-1 but I feel that it means more than just a goal".
"After it, I feel that Team Yellow is finally back, their aura has changed, they now feel like a beast that finally awoke from its slumber".
"Will we be witnessing more legendary stuff happen today in this final? Will we be witnessing a comeback? I'm hyped!"
As Team Yellow players slowly brought their celebrations to an end, Team Black's players remained baffled. The eyes in which they looked at Endrick finally changed, they finally saw him for the incredible threat that he was.
'A monster!'
As they returned to their positions, Enigma briefly made his way to Endrick as he glared at him. "I will not let you win!"
Endrick was not deterred. "I'll like to see you try".
"Unless you kill me, I will perform!"
"Then I will kill you…" This warrior's voice was deep. "With a football on my foot, I will kill you and totally obliterate you".
Endrick simply chuckled.
53:08
FWEEEE!
At the 53rd minute of the game, play restarted.
The goal didn't seem to put Team Black under any pressure yet, they were totally composed, playing beautiful possession football. In the midfield, WarriorThug fulfilled his only job, to break the game.
He ran like a Viking with inexhaustible energy for the next 6 minutes, throwing tackles everywhere like giveaways.
This was when Team Black finally changed the tempo again, having exhausted Team Yellow's energy a bit.
"Special Skill: 3D Vision!"
It was an accurate pass straight towards one of Team Black's center forwards, Enigma who had been waiting patiently for this moment.
Hell-Bulldozer tried to win the long ball but Enigma flexed his incredible body strength again, he outmuscled the center back and hit the ball with his head.
It was a cushioned header pass towards Legion.
Detecting the danger, Turtle909 slid in to intercept the pass but Legion's killer instincts were faster and deadlier.
He rushed after the ball first and hit it.
BAM!
Turtle909 could not adjust his body to dodge it.
{+28 Damage!}
As soon as the ball came out of the shadows, it arrived directly in front of Legion. By now, PowerTruck, Team Yellow's right back was already charging in.
Legion faked a shot to delete this defender off his path before simply pushing the ball forward, it was a pass.
This simple action set up Enigma one-on-one with the goalkeeper, again.
This warrior's eyes gleamed.
"Special Skill: Aggressive Attacker!"
'I must score!'
BOOM!
The power he hit the ball with was crazy!
"Special Skill: Gravity Pull!"
GravityMan rose up to the task, he was forced into a full body stretch as like a superhero in movies, he flew straight after the ball.
He remembered some words. 'I need you all to do everything in your power to keep our defense sturdy!'
'Even if it will break you, defend our goal!'
'Even if it will kill you, defend our goal!'
Endrick was not his father, he was not obligated to listen to his words but at this moment in this game, GravityMan already saw Endrick as his leader.
This was war, he was determined to execute the orders from his leader.
"I won't let you score!" GravityMan dug into his reserves.
Bam!
His hands barely nicked the ball, giving it the little nudge it needed as it hit the post before bouncing away out of the goal.
"A lucky save!" The commentator's voice reverberated.
"Now, another loose ball, what will happen?"
The ball fell towards Apeman's path in the midfield but before he could get the ball, a certain midfielder rushed in like a Bull and collided against him.
WarriorThug strained to touch the ball as he pushed it to the left.
There, Team Yellow's left back, Blackstar got the ball.
Instantly after he touched the ball, it changed, becoming a gray mechanical ball. With the ball stuck to his feet, Blackstar started his first real meaningful offensive run of this game as he charged through the flanks.
"A Mechanical Ball, what can Blackstar do with it?!"
"He's run all the way with the ball to the opposition side of the field, and he's one on one against Flash204. A drop of the shoulder and oh…! He's gone!"
"He's got options to play with Anthony, and he does!"
"Oh, what a simple but effective show of one touch football".
BlackStar showed his skill for the first time as he dribbled into the box, while exchanging slick one touch passes with Anthony as he penetrated in.
Inside the box 18, as chaos slowly ensued, he played a pass.
"Special Skill: Mechanical Accuracy!"
It was a pin-point accurate pass to Maria, but that was not all.
{Passive Ability has been triggered: Timed Bomb- Shadow!}
Bzzz!
As the ball moved, from a hidden port, black mist like shadows suddenly came out, obstructing the vision of the Team Black defenders.
Maria202's eyes gleamed, she took her first shot of the game.
"Special Skill: Multiple Flower Shot!"
The ball was unhindered due to the misty shadows, it went through all the defenders but a determined goalkeeper stood between the posts.
"Special Skill: Intimidating Presence!"
All the balls slowed down, and some of the fake ones even disappeared.
Then, God-between-the-posts entered God mode!
With rapid movements and jumps, he was able to save about 5 balls as Ice-in-mah-veins recovered just in time to clear out all the other dangerous balls.
It was another loose ball; breaths were held across the stadium.
This time, the loose ball got back to Maria.
As soon as she got the ball in the box 18, as the mist slowly started clearing away, her first instinct was to shoot at goal again but she changed her mind.
She remembered some words. 'Your number 1 job is to always feed the ball to me when I need it!'
She raised her head and looked, then she hit the ball.
"Special Skill: Floating Shot!"
{Please choose a target!}
"Endrickdinho!" She muttered.
The next moment, the most inexplicable of things happened, few people spotted Endrick's shadow run but Maria did. The floating ball floated above all the defenders before arriving at just where he needed it the most.
Bam!
Endrick did not execute a first time shot at goal, he instead flicked it upwards, baiting Team Black's goalkeeper to make use of his special skill again.
He grinned. 'His stamina should have run out by now'.
He finally did his thing.
"Special Skill: Powerful Header!"
God-between-the-posts dived after the ball but he was not fast enough, the power behind the header propelled it fast to the top right corner of the goal.
At the 60th minute of the game, Team Black's net shook again.
"GOALLLLL!" The commentators were wild.
2-2
Again, this goal changed the game.
Team Black was stunned into action.
FWEEE!
When the game restarted, the grieving players finally pulled their weapons.
Mostly desperate already, they changed their game plan. For the next 8 minutes, the game became rough, being dominated by tackles and shoves as neither team was able to get a shot on target.
Endrick became tightly marked by Prime-Defender who switched to the left back position. Using all his defensive acumen, he kept him silent.
At the 69th minute though, Team Black got another shot on target.
BAM!
GravityMan was obliterated, it was the bar that saved them this time.
As the frustration boiled on, more players committed fouls.
FWEEE!
{Player Apeman has received a Yellow Card!}
This aggressive player growled in annoyance.
Team Yellow's fighting spirit showed during this critical stage of the match, despite the marauding runs of the opponents, despite their ever present threat, they remained motivated and dogged as the underdogs.
They were determined not to let any goal in.
They were determined to pursue every loose ball.
At the 75th minute of the game, this dogged determination paid again, Maria202 threw another crazy pass towards Endrick on the right wing.
"The ball is with Endrickdinho again!"
"Are we about to witness another moment of magic?!"
Instantly, Prime-Defender closed him down. This defender had done a great job at restricting his impact since, his timed interceptions and tackles were crazy, managing to prevent Endrick from playing to his full potential.
But something was always inevitable; form is temporary, class is permanent.
After a feint that the defender didn't fall for, Endrick produced another moment of magic, he executed a skill that had never been seen before, again.
At this tense moment of the game, Endrick performed a sombrero flick.
Prime-Defender did not predict it at all, he staggered backwards after the ball as it floated above him while trying to grab Endrick to prevent him from sprinting away.
Endrick's solution to this was an aggressive flick of his left hand, Prime-Defender finally lost his balance and fell to his butt.
Again, this defender was obliterated.
As he charged close to the box 18, his opponents recognized the threat as 3 players immediately rushed closer to box him in.
This was when Endrick's incredible ball control was put in display again.
"Oh my God! We're witnessing it again!"
"He can't dribble through them but he's keeping the ball in possession!"
"He's scooping and twisting them inside out like pasta, my goodness!"
"They're staggering, they're wavering, this guy is unstoppable!"
No matter how much tricks that he did, his 3 opponents remained dogged, determined on not letting him through even as they staggered.
By now, Prime-Defender already recovered and was now close to him again.
Endrick's brain geared into overdrive; options flowed through his head.
This was when he saw a hand raise up and wave at him from the box 18.
Another ball shift to the left, and Endrick hit the ball.
BAM!
"It's a lobbed pass, to who?"
"To Drip-Lord! He called for it!"
With so many players on Endrick previously, the defense was open, and with Ice-in-mah-veins tightly marking Paschal007, Drip-Lord was free to wreak havoc.
Leaping high into the air, this center forward twisted his body in mid-air.
Then he swung his leg with power, it was a scissor kick!
BAM!
The pass caught Team Black's goalkeeper out of position, and it was a one-time shot from Drip-Lord, Team Black was ruthlessly exposed.
The shot floated into the bottom right corner.
The net… shook!
GOALLLLLL!!!
Estadio do Arruna erupted like a nuclear bomb just went off.
The commentator was going crazy. "3 freaking 2 now!"
"My Lord! What a comeback from Team Yellow!"
"They are now on the lead!"
Despite being swarmed by his teammates, Drip-Lord broke off from them all. "Allow me to give my drip celebration!"
Sprinting to the corner flag, he jumped high into the air before performing an acrobatic back-flip as his fanbase in the stands erupted.
Endrick's vintage display turned this game on its head.
