Having Unique FC score first against them was sothing Lazio had been fighting hard to prevent since the start of the match, and right now, Mateo just made sure that they wouldn't be seeing that plan through.
He just ca in like the wind and blasted the ball into the goalpost to give his team the lead.
The chanting from the fans just got way louder as the winger rushed to the sidelines pulling his shirt off before he could get there.
"That was a wonderful strike from Mateo, a morale-shattering strike." Steve comnted.
His teammates caught up to him pretty soon and now their voices were going up in front of the fans.
"There's still a lot of ti left for Lazio to strike back but it's only a matter of if Unique FC will let them strike back, making a coback didn't go so well for them in the last match."
Now that the celebration was over, the players had to return to the pitch for the match to continue and that was when Mateo was t with a yellow card for removing his shirt.
He was really bothered about that, as he slowly walked past the referee while putting on his shirt over his blue vest.
"All they need to do now is to see this through and they will be guaranteed to finish at the top of the table." Jim expressed.
"Yeah, and most importantly, it's ti to see how well Lazio has improved with their response since last ti, we all know Unique FC aren't going to make this easy for them now that they have the lead." Steve articulated.
"You got that right, it's a good thing Unique FC aren't known for blatantly passing the ball after securing a goal like this so we can still expect good football from them, I hope."
All that was needed to put the ga back into motion was the referee's whistle, and at the sound of it, the ga imdiately resud.
Since the start of the match, Unique FC had not been that aggressive in chasing the ball and stuck mostly to winning the ball through tactical thods, but now it looked like they just switched up.
Minino rushed toward Alfred as fast as he could, but before he could get to the midfielder, he sent the ball rolling to Carrigher who had the ball swept off his feet by Martinez as soon as he trapped it.
The striker crashed down to the floor in the process and raised his hand to call for a foul but it didn't look like the referee was going to give it.
"Unique FC aggressively getting the ball back, looks that goal just fueled the hunger to get a second one."
They knew best not to transfer their aggressive defense to attack because that would just ss things up for them.
Ferran received the ball from Martinez down the middle, and just before Zahid could get to him, he sent the ball rolling to Mateo.
"Mateo."
The winger slowly moved down the wing a little with the ball before he sent it flying over to Minino on the other side.
"Over to Minino on the other side."
Minino brought the ball down with a neat trap as he was quickly surrounded by Alfred and the defensive midfielder in front of him.
He knew trying to brute force his way through this one wasn't going to work, so he sent the ball rolling back to Norman who quickly sent it rolling to Ferran as soon as he got his foot on it.
Ferran quickly took off down the middle with the ball until he found rino down the right and sent the ball rolling to him with a quick pass.
The winger feigned taking the route down the wing to confuse the left back before he quickly turned and pushed the ball to Fredinho.
There was still no clear opening to go through, so Fredinho had to pass the ball back to Ferran who imdiately sent it rolling to Mateo.
"They're trying to find a way through here, really putting that pressure on Lazio."
Mateo slowly moved toward the right back with the ball before he quickly pushed it to the right for Roland who was just entering the area to get his foot on it.
Roland quickly got his foot on the ball and was about to make a quick run into the box when he was brought down by the defender there right at the edge of the box.
The referee blew his whistle because that was obviously a foul but the defender wasn't happy with that decision as he picked the ball up and fired it far away to the other side.
"Looks like Unique FC have finally won their first close-up free kick of the ga, they might actually get that second goal from this." Jim expressed.
"I'm just wondering if they will call up Dave to take this one," Steve comnted.
Lazio were setting up their four-man wall inside the box now as both Ferran and Mateo stood over the ball with their hands covering their mouths as they seed to be talking about sothing.
"I don't think they're calling Dave for this one," Jim said after observing things for a while. I think you should take a look at
"Yeah, I can see that, looks like it's going to be either Mateo or Ferran, it's probably going to be Mateo," Steve comnted.
Everything was set now, and after making sure there was nothing out of place, the referee blew his whistle.
"Looks like it's ti to find out who it's going to be."
As soon as the two heard the whistle, they turned their gaze to each other and nodded.
Ferran quickly raced toward the ball and feigned firing it toward the goalpost before quickly moving out of the way for Mateo who was right behind him to get his foot on the ball and fire it toward the goalpost.
Jorge was glued to the spot as the ball flew toward the top right-hand side of the goalpost and ended up hitting the crossbar before flying out for a goal kick.
"Oh, my goodness! That was so close!" Jim exclaid.
After watching the ball go out like that, Mateo bit his lower lip before stomping his foot on the floor.
"Jorge was literally glued to a spot, that could have been a nice second goal," Steve comnted.
"Yeah, but it looks like he aid just a bit too high which is okay because he was always going to assu that Jorge will be able to go after it." Jim articulated.
