No one expected Hakodate Nishi to launch a quick counterattack like this. After all, the first ten minutes after a player was sent off, their captain, even, should be a period where they tried to stabilize the game, slowing down the tempo so that they could handle the raging opponent. Still, this situation was anything but normal.
Hakodate Nishi was never an offensive team in the first place. Offense was never their strongest forte, so when they had a chance, no matter what happened on the pitch, they would still go for a kill. It also applied in this situation, as when Higo got the ball, some of the players there could see an opportunity to strike back.
"SENPAI! FRONT!" Hiroshi shouted while running, pointing forward at the space in front of him.
