The free-kick was set to be taken now and the person standing over the ball at the mont was none other than Dave Richards.
It was a free-kick on their side of the pitch so there was no need for a wall and that was a sort of advantage for the goalkeeper even though it didn't really matter to him if there was a wall or not.
"Seventy-eight minutes into the ga and Unique FC are still leading three goals to one. Dynamo FC don't have much ti here and now they have to face another free-kick from Dave." Jim articulated.
"Ordinarily, a free kick from this far out wouldn't prove to be much of a threat especially if the player decides to go for a direct kick but Dave Richards is a goalkeeper who is known to have caused a couple of upsets from his side of the pitch a couple of tis."
"He's done it enough tis for the goalkeepers from the opposing sides to know what to expect when up against him," Steve added. "There's a reason why Victor has made a conscious effort not to stray too far from his goal line since the start of the match."
Since there was no wall, all of the players were on the other end of the pitch with Dynamo FC players trying to trick the eager Unique FC players into falling into their offside trap by not getting too close to their box.
'So, what are you saying?'
'I see, so it's my call.'
The referee blew his whistle at that mont, and as soon as the goalkeeper heard it, he slowly took two steps backward before taking a deep breath.
"Alright, here goes nothing." He muttered before rushing to the ball.
He might have listened to everything Catherine just said, but before she even began speaking, he had already made up his mind.
He decided, that he was going to take the option that was most likely to lead to a goal.
Lifting the ball nicely with just enough power, the goalkeeper sent the ball flying toward the right, he was looking for rino.
The winger had Matip trying to keep him in check while also hoping that he would move into an offside position just before any ball would co flying his way.
The winger quickly pushed past the midfielder just in ti to get his foot on the ball, and despite raising his hand to call for an offside, there was no response from the goalkeeper as rino raced toward the goalpost, nobody standing in his way.
"He's onside, oh it's another marvelous chance for Unique FC. Surely they'll get that fourth goal!"
Frustrated that the referee didn't do anything, Matip desperately chased after the winger, his teammates closing in from the other sides alongside the opposing players who were looking to give their teammate a hand if the need for that arose.
Desperate to put an end to their current helpless situation, Victor rushed out just as rino got to the edge of the box but that turned out to be a mistake as the winger was fast enough to chip the ball over him just before he could get to him.
There was nothing the goalkeeper could do besides sit there as the ball bounced into the goalpost.
"Goallllll!!!"
"Goallll!!!" The voice of the fans resounded as the winger took off to the sidelines, a bright smile on his face.
This was a grand mont for the ho team, however, sothing seed to be off, and that was the fact that the referee had yet to blow his whistle or point to the kick-off spot to confirm the goal.
"What's this? Looks like there are doubts about whether rino was offside or not."
The ho team had to calm down their celebration as Dynamo FC players gathered around the referee, trying to get him to rule in their favor.
It wasn't going to change much as they would still be behind, but going three goals behind would an crushing the last bit of hope they were clinging on to, and they just couldn't have that.
Back at the other side of the pitch, Dave could be seen observing everything from the edge of his box, his arms crossed.
'What do you think, Cat?'
