High pressure

Rory!!

Omar shouted as he launched a long pass towards Rory. Aziel Rory used his small size as leverage to easily wriggle himself away from Lida and he was set loose.

Rory pushed the ball forward and he charged nonstop, not even taking a moment to pause, he didn't even slow down and just kept on charging forward at the same pace.

Lida cut corners and ran into the box, hoping to stop any attack that came towards that area. Liam chased Rory ferociously but there was nothing to show for that, annoyed that he stil couldn't catch Rory, Liam locked him in his sights, chasing him and not the ball.

Just when everyone expected Rory to pass the ball, Rory suddenly cut in and switched wings with his teammate, he accelerated even further, not even bothering to leave an extra touch on the ball.

Damn! Liam gritted his teeth as he fell to the floor, slipping on the grass. Rory's move was so unexpected and it was even harder to counter. Liam tried to stop the moment he realized that Rory was no longer with the ball but he could only trip and fall to the floor.

Jeremy took the ball and continued from where Rory stopped, he was quick to pass the ball to Omar before changing positions immediately. They were trying to break Krystal Fc's defense by confusing them with their movements, so they just ran around, switching wings at random and pulling unneccessary attention to themselves.

Omar passed the ball to Tate and without any extra movements, Tate flicked the ball upwards behind him and the opponents, They were close to the throw-in lines.

Rory's first touch was to kick the ball and run off . He couldn't run much though as if he did, that would be out of bounds, but he intent on running any more either. He only intended to create space between him and the defenders so he could cross the ball better.

Rory suddenly crossed the ball into the penalty box. Damn! Tate's going to finish...

STOP HIM!!

Liam, Lida, Miles, Bice and so one, everyone went for Tate, choking him and trying to stop him desperately

But once again, everyone was stunned by the passng disease that infested Heroes FC. Tate nodded the ball backwards, setting it for Omar to finish.

Omar didn't wait for the ball to and as he jumped and took a an acrobatic volley, launching the ball towards the lower part of the left post.

Zuri was stunned. He was at the right side of the post and that meant he ball was a bit far away from him, again, Omar had jumped, so everyone naturally expected the ball to go high, but he surprised them by sending it low.

Regardless of whatever, Zuri jumped, stretching himself and luckily, the ball hit his fingertips and it was pushed to the left post. The ball hit the woodwork and ricocheted upwards, locking everyone in a dreaded suspense, the ball hit the inner part of the top post and it's next destination was clear.

...The back of the net.

Ahh!

Adrienne let out a muffled shout as he put his body on the line, sending the ball back into the crowd of anxious players.

Luckily, Adrienne had his grid lock, he coupled it with his extreme hearing abilities and his ability of interpretation of sounds, with that, he was able to guage where the ball would go and make an early run towards the post to save his team.

looking at the ball that fell back towards them, Heroes high shouted in exasperation as they made a mad rush for the ball, they needed this goal to crush their opponent's morale.

Fortunately for Heroes Fc, the ball landed on Rory who wasn't far from the post. Rory raised his leg to power a shot through, but Bice was timely in his reaction as he jumped at Rory with a desperate sliding tackle.

The fate of this match was thrown into the hands of this two players, they fans waited very impatiently for the next second, so they could find out what happens next. Who would come out victorious, was it Krystal Fc, or Heroes Fc? The fans were lucky, they would find out in a second...

...unlike some people...

But if those 'some people' really wanted to know the outcome of this match very quickly, then they knew what to do. Powerstones, reviews, comments, there were many things they could do to actually accelerate the match proccess, it was up to them. Really, it was up to them.
