With that spot-kick, Colombia leveled the score.
Upon scoring, they rallied through the field, their once desperate fans revitalized. Cheering at the top of their lungs, they celebrated the equalizing goal with great enthusiasm.
Perhaps, the goal must have meant something extraordinary for them.
Well, given that they were already approaching the end while tailing the opposition by a goal, it would probably be a moment of respite for them.
Meanwhile, the Japanese supporters were both dejected and furious. However, their fury wasn't directed at their players. Rather it was directed to the departing Luis and the referee.
With their head slumped, the Japanese players stood rooted at their spots while the opposing side celebrated. Hiro, however, didn't seem troubled.
Sure, he felt wronged. But even if he felt wronged, what could he do?
More than getting stuck on the thing that couldn't be helped, he was already thinking ahead.
