Average Late Match Drama

"Free kick to Charles Patterson!" The referee's voice reverberated in the ears of everyone on the field. Even the people watching from the stands became quiet when they saw the referee pointing at a spot slightly outside the box.

"That's... That's not the gesture a referee gives when someone scores."

"You don't think they canceled the goal again?"

A few confused murmurs escaped from the crowds. Even the players from Williamson Memorial were shocked. What was happening?

Alexis, who was writhing in pain, looked at the referee in disbelief. The referee... was awarding a free kick?

After awarding the free kick, the referee reached into his back pocket and pulled out a red card, showing it to the defender who tackled Alexis. The defender tried to argue with the referee, but the referee didn't budge. Without any other choice, he walked off the field.
