Chris: [Maher—OH MY WORD!]
The ball ripped through the air, swerving just as it approached the goal. Coutinho reacted late, diving to his right, but it was too late—
The net bulged and the stadium exploded.
GOOAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!~
Rob: [It's in! Finally! Adam Maher has done it!]
Adam sprinted toward the corner flag with his fists clenched, roaring into the night. His teammates swarmed him, piling on in a chaotic celebration.
Chris: [They've battered the Den Haag defense for 72 minutes, and at last, the equalizer! What a hit from Adam Maher!]
In the stands, fans jumped, screamed, clapped, and let out all the frustration that had built up throughout the match. Even Benjamin, watching from his apartment, leaped to his feet, punching the air.
On the pitch, Den Haag players stood frozen on the spot with hands on their hips, staring at the ground. Their plan had worked for so long—until now.
