The ball blazed past Subaru's outstretched dive and crashed gracefully into the right side of the nets.
'And it's a goooooal!'
A heavy sigh of disappointment swept through the crowd, the sound echoing like a wave across the stadium.
Kazutora, smirking with wild intensity, sprinted toward the corner flag, his smirk never fading, his eyes blazing with triumph.
The silence hung heavy for a moment, then it was shattered as the Kashiwa Tyrants erupted, roaring in celebration, sprinting after Kazutora to join him in his wild run.
Raya clenched his teeth hard, holding back a scream as he slammed his boot into the turf in raw frustration. Jiho let out a furious roar, his fist pounding against his thigh.
