EQUALIZER

This time the tension between us had increased making us to become more competitive, immediately jade’s team had exchanged passes they started to move randomly, after like 32 minutes of passing and attacking the ball was finally in possession of one of our defenders who shot a long pass to Nicholas, Nicholas charged forward with the ball then passed ball to me. A midfielder was already coming to tackle me immediately I received the ball, I looked at james and he seemed to understand my intentions that moment, I passed the ball to him while I rushed forward he passed the ball quickly ahead of me making me to avoid the incoming midfielder. I rushed with the ball and launched a high cross with the ball to the right side of the keeper’s box where David received the ball. He didn’t hesitate to shoot the ball from the his position to the left side of the Goal post, the ball went with full force and entered the Goal post from the right side. Immediately the ball had entered the net our team ran all over the field celebrating in joy, the spectator’s too were shouting David’s name this time, I smiled as I walked towards David, how was my goal? He asked with a grin on is face, pathetic, you call that a goal? I replied sarcastically, at least were equal for now, I assisted you, you assisted me, let’s see who will score next he said full of confidence, okay we shall see.

We still had about had about 30 minutes before we would end the match that evening, the score was now 2-2 so naturally the field was beginning to get hot with tension each passing minutes, we had launched series of attacks towards the opposite team’s goal post but unfortunately these attacks were stopped by them likewise they were also launching their own attacks, the midfielder position I was occupying was beginning to get boring for me so I went to meet James our supporting striker and asked if he could switch positions with me since I noticed he was not that active anymore, he agreed without hesitating so we immediately switched positions. I knew I could do better that’s why I had decided to switch positions with james, immediately I was at the left striker’s wing i promised myself that I was going to score another goal before going home today, 5 minutes later james tackled a midfielder from the opposite team then sent the ball towards David who had fallen behind from his position, David sprinted a few meters then passed the ball to Nicholas who received the ball full of vigor, he raced forward dribbling the defender who had stood in his way, since David had fallen behind we had no striker in the keeper’s box to deliver the final strike, that moment I felt the adrenaline in my body running wildly through my veins, I raced forward fully excited to receive the ball, immediately Nicholas sent a high cross over the defenders to my position currently, while the ball was in the air I felt different, all the problems I had in my heart faded, I felt as if I had become one with the world and I could do anything that moment.
