Makinde sat on the grass along with his team mates and discussing in hush tones about their performance and a probable change of formation and areas that needed to be improved.
Whistle

The shrill sound of the whistle resounded for the second time today signaling the beginning of the second half and the players got into position.
Makinde and his team mate stood across their opponent ready to win and a confident expression was etched on their faces.
Neves team kicked of the game playing a more defensive game but this time Makinde didn't only focus on Neves alone but on all the players not letting a single one of them out of his sight.
The game kicked of and Makinde charged forward putting pressure on the striker who had the ball, the striker a bit nervous seeing Makinde amd Park Min son charging at him. His fear made him make a pass but Neves was able to reach the ball clearing it off.
Time ticked by and 25 minutes have already passed but none of the sides have being able to score a goal but suddenly the striker seemed to send a useless pass forward but Neves who had receded into the role of a CDM where he was overlooked making able sneak into the opponents line before they could even realise.
Neves sped forward realising he had being made leaving Ali behind, sprinting into the box He shot the ball towards the goal.
The ball spun gracefully and slip into the goal through the top corner giving their opponent a 2-1 lead.
Makinde wanted to scream at his team mates wondering what they were doing conceding goals so easily but as he looked them here also noticee the same anger and frustration he harbored inside at their down hill performance.
'What if we are losing because of you' A voice suddenly sounded at the back of Makinde's mind and he couldn't help but think about it, since the beginning of the match he had carried everything upon himself as if he was the savior. He hadn't even tried giving his team mates a chance or played as a team with them. He had played as if only he could score, suddenly it dawned on him where Neves's confidence was coming from, he must have noticed this fact that he was overly reliant on himself and must have exploited it leading to their current backfootedness in the match.
Makinde knew he wouldn't be able to say anything to help with his team mates aliviate the disappointment they must be feeling towards themselves but he knew he would have to try his best giving them a reason to continue to strive to win.
The match continued and this time Makinde didn't entirely lead the charge at attack as always but instead shifted back supporting his team mates in the midfield to create chances. Even with their efforts the opponents defence seemed impenetrable and the time ran by at Godspeed. Two as everybody had fallen back to defend, time ticked away quickly and barely minutes were left before the end of the game just when everything seemed to be over Makinde noticee Ali who was free.
And Makinde gave him the signal to charge forwards th goal for a full on confrontation and the opponents attention was immediately drawn towards him and they immediately retreated to cover Ali. Makinde who noticed this only smiled as he sent a pass forward that seemed to be going towards the charging Ali
But Jao Neve's who was the first to charge after Ali noticed something was off but before he could fully understand what was going on the ball that was headed towards Ali suddenly changed direction as it spun in the air towards Park Min son who had being free due to the opponents going after Ali.
Makinde had used his S rank Master Trivela talent made the ball seem as if it had a mind of it own as it changed direction mid air and landed perfectly for a volley in front of Park Min Son who launched the ball forward with all his might without hesitation straight into the back of the net and even the opposing goal keeper hadn't even managed to react when the ball went in.
The goal brought the teams back on equal footing with a scoreline of 2-2 in the final minutesand entire team A which is Makinde's team couldn't help but to celebrate the late goal each clapping Park Minson on the back.
