Knockouts XII

Carrying the hopes of thousands of supporters, Alex steadily approached the opposing box. While at the same time, Shun confronted him in a one-on-one duel. 

The intensity rose in the field as thousands of eyes converged on the two of them. And, suddenly an eerie calm swallowed the entire stadium. 

Fearlessly, Alex then closed into Shun without ever losing his momentum. Then he swerved to the right. Shun followed, launching him onto Alex's feet. 

Alex however chipped the ball over Shun's outstretched hands and avoided his reach. Then he himself jumped over Shun to avoid getting tackled by Shun. 

Bam!!

Alex struck the ball cleanly, sending it hurtling toward the empty post. 

"Goal"

The stadium erupted in a cacophony of sound. Cheers and groans mingled in a whirlwind of emotions. The Spanish supporters exploded joyfully, their triumphant cries echoing through the stands.
