This goal changed everything.
At first, Ukraine wanted to use the wait-and-see approach, not wanting to hit the accelerator too early. After all, after playing for such a long tournament, the players' exhaustion was at its peak right now, and they didn't want to risk anything in the beginning.
In their mind, once the game started to enter the middle phase, where all the players had already been warmed enough, that would be the best time to strike.
However, this goal from Kawabe really caught them off guard. They didn't expect Morita to escape from two people so swiftly, and Mamoru's decisive cross was also something that they had never thought of before. One of them was also so frustrated for letting Kawabe escape in the penalty box, starting to blame himself for the goal.
