Paulo placed the ball on the mark made by the referee with the help of vanishing spray and the players of Bologna F.C. stood in front of him at 10 yards distance and made a defensive wall. Paulo took four steps back and took a stance for the free kick. Paulo was looking at the goal, the goalkeeper was also constantly instructing his teammates.
It was already the 90th minute on the clock and the game was in the last minutes of extra additional minutes, everyone in the stadium was on their feet, some fans started to pray and some fans were also biting their nails. The fans in the stadium were worried and in the stadium's VIP box both Luis Salvatore and Marco Esposito were restless because at the moment the future of their club now depended on this free kick if it ends up inside the net it will secure their position in the Lega d'Italia and if not they will have to play additional thirty minutes in which nobody knew what will happen.
