Benjamin's pace was electric as he surged down the flank with the ball glued to his feet. Otigba tried to keep up, but the teenager's quick bursts left him lagging behind.
[Benjamin's making this look effortless,] Dirk commented. [Every time he gets the ball, Heerenveen look like they're in panic mode]
Heerenveen's defense scrambled to close him down, but Benjamin's decision-making was razor-sharp. A quick cut inside on his right foot sent another defender sliding past him.
With a flick of his ankle, he played a slick one-two with Adam Maher, who had seamlessly slotted into the midfield.
[Look at that understanding,] Martin said, his voice tinged with excitement. [Maher's just come on, and already he's linking up beautifully with Benjamin]
As Benjamin sprinted into the box with the ball, the angle tightened. Instead of going for goal, he spotted Beerens lurking unmarked at the edge of the penalty area.
