As soon as Jerry saw the ball enter the back of the net, he ran down the touchline and executed a smooth knee slide before leaning on the corner flag. He glanced at the fans in the stands, who erupted in cheers the moment the ball crossed the line. The total number of people watching the match in the stadium wasn't even up to two thousand, but Jerry still felt surreal seeing more than half of them cheering for him after he scored a goal. It was a moment he had dreamed of since he started playing football as a child, and now that it was real, it felt even better than he had imagined.
Jerry didn't spend too much time basking in his moment of glory. After all, the match was far from over, and the team needed to remain focused. Very soon, he and his teammates had returned to their positions on their side of the pitch. The referee blew his whistle to signal the continuation of the match, and just like that, they were back in action.
