Chapter 289 A Minute Of Added Time

The match was ten minutes gone so far and although it had been quite interesting between both sides, none of them had been able to fire a single shot.

Unique FC were the ones currently with the ball and they were being very cautious but Dynamo FC were pressing quite high against them.

They wanted them to start getting pressurized and then drop their guard and then start making mistakes, that was how they did it the last time they faced them last season although they didn't use this over defensive formation back then.

"Unique FC are doing their best to hold onto the ball and find a way to make a breakthrough, but Dynamo FC aren't making things easy for them," Jim commented.

Ferran tried dribbling past the defensive midfielder blocking his path and he would have attempted it, but when one of them tried to take the ball off him from behind, he had to move the ball back to Norman.

Frank quickly raced toward the right back to try and take the ball off him but before he could get to him, the right back sent the ball rolling toward Adolf.

Adolf trapped the ball under his feet before he sent it toward Roland just before Roland could get to him.

Afolf's pass was hit a little bit slowly and Now Roland was going to get in a scuffle with the defensive midfielder who was quickly heading toward the ball now.

Roland used his long legs advantage as he stretched toward the ball and pushed it a little further before running past the defensive.

He lost balance in the process of doing that, but he was able to stop himself from falling with both of his hands and once he was fully back on his feet, he kept pushing the ball forward until he found Fred and sent the ball to him.

"That was quite a clumsy pass from Adolf but Roland dealt with it nicely."

There was nowhere for Fred to go, so he had to send the ball to Mateo on the left wing.

"Mateo's got the ball now."

The winger quickly zoomed past the defensive midfielder who tried to block his path and right now he was heading directly toward the right back with the left back with one of the center backs heading toward him and the defensive midfielder still moving toward him from behind.

"He's on the move but he's not clear."

The winger tried to get past the left back and maybe try to send the ball into the box or something but that resulted in the ball getting sent out for a throw-in as the wingback placed his leg in the right place to stop his move.

"It's a throw-in against...Dynamo FC, looks like Mateo wasn't the last person that made contact with it after all."

Roland quickly made her way to the sidelines and picked up the ball for the throw-in.

Dynamo FC players were making it quite difficult for him to make a proper throw so Ferran had to get closer to receive the ball, and as soon Roland threw the ball to him, he brought it down with his chest and quickly sent it rolling toward Mateo who was right at the edge of the box.

"Mateo."

The winger was aware that there was a player behind him, so he quickly did a roulette spin to get past the player.

"He gets past the defender."

He didn't need to think about it as he fired the ball toward the goalpost.

"Mateo shoots!"

The ball was sent toward the right side of the goalpost with almost no elevation at all, but the goalkeeper was right there right on time to block the shot before quickly grabbing the ball with both of his hands.

The fans had almost jumped up from their seats as they were expecting the ball to go in.

"That was close but Victor says no," Steve said.

Mateo bit his lower lip and shook his head in frustration before turning away.

"That was their first attempt of the night, their first shot, and their first shot on target and it could have been the opening goal but Victor came in clutch." Jim articulated.

"That was so close," Emma said.

"Yeah, he'll get it next time."

It was quite ironic how the team that we're playing more defensively were the first ones to receive a shot but so far Unique FC had not received any shots and the first half was coming to an end.

That shot from Mateo was the only shot in the match so far as both sides were being very cautious with the way they attacked, none of them wanted to be the recipient of a counterattack.

The time had just hit the forty-fifth minute and the referee decided to add four minutes to the normal time as the official with the board raised the board to make that known to everyone.

Dynamo FC were the ones with the ball now, and they were slowly working their way toward Unique FC's goalpost.

One of the defensive midfielders was moving the ball down the right, and just before he could cross paths with Martinez, he shifted the ball to Damian who had left his position and position and shifted a little to the right but before the ball could get to him, Roland slid toward it and pushed it off toward the middle.

"Nice defensive work from Roland."

The ball was pushed directly toward Frank who had a little bit of shooting space.

"Uh oh, the ball has fallen toward Frank."

Martinez tried to stop him, but before he could get to him, the attacking midfielder sent the ball flying toward the goalpost.

"Frank!"

The ball was sent flying toward the top right-hand side of the goalpost as Alexander dived toward it at the right time and punched it over the bar with both of his hands.

"Oh, what a save from Alexander!" Jim exclaimed. "Looks like Unique FC's second-choice goalkeeper is no pushover after all."

The fans couldn't help but applaud the youngster after watching him make a save like that and Dave had to join them in applauding.

"He's good," Emma said.

"Yeah." The goalkeeper replied with a nod.

<He's better than you were at his age>

'You don't always have to bring that up, Catherine.'

<I'm sorry>

"That was a magnificent save from Alexander but now they have a corner kick to deal with," Steve said.

One of the defensive midfielders with the name 'Connell.' written above his number twenty-five was standing over the ball now waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Just a minute of added time left, can Dynamo FC capitalize on this one?"

The referee blew his whistle as Connell took two steps backward before he quickly closed up on the ball and sent it flying into the box.

There were many players who tried to contest for the ball in the air but the player who got his head on the ball was Frank, he wasn't as tall as Adolf who was on his right but I guess it was his luck.

The ball sloped right toward him just after zooming past Afolf from above and instead of nodding the ball straight toward the goalpost he nodded it down but that didn't look like it was intentional.

"Frank!"

The ball bounced on the floor and hit the right post as Alexander stretched his hand toward it, but the ball ended up hitting his wrist before falling into the goalpost.

"It's in, Dynamo FC has gotten the opener in the dying minute of the first half!" Jim exclaimed.

Just as the fans burst into screams of joy, Frank quickly rushed to the sidelines and did a flat slide before his teammates got to him and began to fall on his body.

"That was an awkward nod from Frank but it sure worked out for him," Steve said.

Unique FC players were quite devastated to concede a goal at this time and Dave was no exception.

Emma turned her gaze to him as he slowly bit his lower lip before she turned it back to the pitch where Dynamo FC players were still celebrating.

They were still celebrating when the referee blew his whistle twice to bring the first half to an end.
