The second half began with a heavy air, as if everyone knew that the next few minutes would be definitive.
The Wushia College team had organized itself again, with Lucas Tanaka playing closer to midfield to use his strength to create plays and also help defend, while Nishida and Yukihiro were further forward. As the first few minutes went by, his eyes kept up with the pace of the game, but his body began to feel the weight of tiredness, even though he had just come back from the break.
The scoreboard showed a slender lead: [Nishikawa College 1 - 2 Wushia College]. The clock was already ticking 12 minutes. There were just over 30 minutes left. Half an hour. They only needed to hold this scoreline for half an hour to qualify for the semi-final. Lucas, in particular, wanted this because her family was going to Nagoya to watch them in the semi-final.
