Things could have been devastating for Unique FC without that goal from Dave because right now, the referee's whistle pierced through the air with that high-pitched sound for the third ti to finally bring the second to an end.
"There's the whistle, it's supposed to be over but it's not over, Unique FC managed to get that equalizer and now they'll go into extra ti," Jim comnted as the players slowly made their way down the tunnel.
"Well, this has been sothing, Unique FC did everything they could possibly think of in this half but all they were able to get out of it was that wonderful free-kick goal from Dave which kept them in the ga." Steve articulated. "The goalkeeper saved them once again just like he ca on at the last minute to do against Dynamo FC but this ti around it won't really matter unless they win this match."
When Steve said that Unique FC did everything they could possibly think of to seal the ga in this second half after that goal from Dave, he wasn't trying to exaggerate it, Unique FC really did put the pressure on Spree City in this half but they just couldn't put the ball in the goalpost.
That was mainly because Spree City switched to an almost completely defensive style of play after that goal from Dave.
It looked like they were bent on taking the match to extra ti and maybe their ultimate goal was to get the match to go into penalties but that would be stupid considering the fact that Unique FC had the best goalkeeper in the league by miles this season in their team, so maybe all they just wanted to do was take it to extra ti where they would try to do sothing.
However, there was no guarantee that they would be able to do anything in both halves of extra ti and if the match ended up going to penalties then the odds would be stacked against them.
Unique FC players were in the locker room now with a lot of them drinking from their water bottles.
Norman was in the room as expected but this ti he wasn't standing in front of them and was sitting on the seat a little to the right beside the board.
"So, it has finally co to this." He muttered with his hand on his chin.
He stared at the wall on the other side for a while before quickly turning his gaze back to the players.
"Listen up, everyone!" He shot up with an assertive voice just to make sure he gets the attention of all of them. "Don't go out there thinking that because we have Dave we'll be safe if this match goes into penalties, Dave is not invisible, no goalkeeper is invisible, especially during penalty shoot-outs, everything can go wrong during penalty shootouts and besides Dave's only job is to try and stop the ball not take your penalties which so of you might end up missing!"
"I think coach really hates penalty shootouts." Minino leaned closer to Ferran to whisper.
"Yeah, and it's understandable," Ferran whispered back.
"We have to do everything we can to crack them open and make sure that this match doesn't go into a penalty shootout, or maybe we won't need to try so hard to crack them up, I'm sure they know that the ga into penalties has a high chance of not favoring them." The coach hypothesized as he paced up and down in front of the players.
'I have never seen him get this wary before.'
