That equalizer was a massive hit to Dynamo FC who had planned to play it safe for the currently ongoing second half and just drag the ga out.
Unfortunately for them, Unique FC didn't give them the chance to do that, striking fast to level the ga as soon as the ga resud.
Whatever bit of the ho team's morale that seed to have dropped after conceding that goal in the first half seed to have been restored now with increased intensity.
The chants from the fans were louder now as Dynamo FC tried to keep the ball away from Unique FC players.
They looked pretty sharp in the first half but the second half was currently seven minutes gone and they seed to be lacking that first-half intensity. Maybe their ga plan suddenly crashing in the first minute of the ga was the cause of that.
"Dynamo FC just don't seem to be able to break through Unique FC's line anymore and it doesn't look like they want to take any risks, constantly playing back passes." Jim articulated.
"Well, they seem to be doing a good job of keeping hold of the ball at least," Steve remarked.
In a desperate attempt to break through, Frank pushed forward down the right flank after receiving the ball from one of the defensive midfielders but just before he could kick his full speed into gear, sprinting Roland threw himself toward him, getting the ball off him with a not so neat sliding tackle.
The attacking midfielder crashed down to the ground imdiately after that, clutching onto his ankle with his hand up as he called for foul play.
However, there was no response from the referee who allowed Roland who was already up on his feet to carry on with play.
"I guess he did make contact with the ball first but he did also make contact with Frank's ankle."
The fullback quickly pushed the ball a little forward before rolling it to Mateo who was already racing down the middle with one of the defensive midfielders right behind him.
All the youngster needed was a single touch to skillfully drill the ball further forward down the right flank in an attempt to find rino who had quickly pulled back at that mont to shake off the fullback on him and get his foot on the ball.
As soon as he got his foot on the ball, Minino quickly pushed down further down the right flank, turning his gaze to Frank who was slowly getting up on his feet at that mont.
"That could work." He muttered with a sinister smile on his face.
Catching sight of the midfielder heading toward him, rino pushed the ball back to him before pushing forward past the fullback marking him.
"rino to Minino, is he going to play him through?"
That was precisely their plan, and being well aware of that, Minino did not hesitate in drilling the ball in for rino, skillfully getting it away from the defender who had made an admirable attempt to stop the ball.
"Oh, this is a golden opportunity for Unique FC to take the lead."
It was just as Jim said, Minino's pass put rino in a pretty good shooting position just inside the box but a little hesitance from the forward was all that was needed for one of the defenders to quickly block his path before stretching out his legs to take the ball from him.
That was a bit of a clumsy mistake from the forward, not taking that shot on ti, however, he did not falter.
Trying to salvage what was left of the good chance he had been given, he faked a shot on the defender before quickly shifting the ball to his left foot, quickly lifting it up toward Fred who had just pushed into the box.
"This could be the mont!"
The striker was able to get to the ball ahead of the defender trying to stop him and the defensive midfielder right behind him.
However, just before he could actually nod the ball forward, Victor dived to the target with his gloves, pushing the ball away while sohow avoiding making contact with the striker.
"Oh, wonderful intervention from Victor to thwart that danger."
That was a relief for the Dynamo players and fans but that mont didn't last long for them as the ball happened to have fallen to the foot of Mateo who was just dying to cause so trouble.
"Uh oh, the ball has fallen to Mateo, Dynamo's not clear of danger yet."
Quickly cutting to the right, the youngster was able to get past the defensive midfielder in front of him but just before he could push further forward into the box, he felt soone pull on his shirt from behind before he was forcefully dragged down.
"Oh, co on." He snapped before quickly springing up on his feet, turning to Connell who still had a tiny grip on his shirt. "Hey, what's the big idea?"
The referee blew his whistle to confirm that that was indeed foul play, but that wasn't enough to stop the commotion that had just been kicked up in front of Dynamo FC's goalpost, and wherever there were flas, there was always Minino to add more fuel and wood.
"Oh, dear, the ho team are understandably not very pleased about that challenge," Jim comnted.
"Yeah, that was a very blatant pull, deserves a card in my opinion."
As expected, Minino took over from Mateo, almost getting into a fight with Connell but thanks to his teammates, he was restrained and just narrowly escaped a yellow card.
The only person who ended up getting booked was Connell and aware of what he did, he made no attempt at protesting against it.
"Well, that sure was sothing, but now that it's over let's talk about the free kick which could possibly turn into sothing to Unique FC being so close to the box."
"I'm just wondering who's going to take it."
Back at the pitch, Ferran could be seen heading to Mateo on the spot the referee had marked out for the free kick with the ball in his hand.
"So, are you going to take it?" He asked just after stopping in front of the youngster. "You're clearly the better free-kick taker now."
Mateo was a bit hesitant but he was able to take the bail from him.
"Well, I guess that's true, but…"
"But what?"
"I think Dave should take it." He responded before turning toward the goalkeeper.
Seeing that reaction from the youngster, a smile appeared on Ferran's face as he also turned toward the goalkeeper on the other side of the pitch.
"I guess according to statistics, he is the better free-kick specialist among the three of us.
Mateo began to wave at the goalkeeper at that mont, and it didn't take him long to notice.
