Chapter 74: U-17 World Cup Final - Second Half

The second half of the U-17 World Cup final began with a renewed sense of purpose for the Nigeria team. Matthew's leadership and motivation had ignited a fire within them, and they were determined to turn the game around.

Brazil, however, was not going to give up without a fight. They started the second half strongly, pushing forward with a series of attacks that tested Nigeria's defense.

But Nigeria was ready. They had regrouped and refocused, and their defense was solid. Matthew and his teammates worked tirelessly to repel Brazil's attacks, and slowly but surely, they began to gain ground.

In the 55th minute, Nigeria's hard work paid off. Matthew received a pass from his teammate and found himself one-on-one with the Brazilian goalkeeper. He coolly slotted the ball past the keeper, and the stadium erupted in a frenzy of noise and color.
