The Final

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with the assignment. Well anyway to continue our story.... we were due to meet Saad's team. We entered the court full of spirit, after all we had beaten what was believed to be the strongest team in the tournament. but our high spirits were dashed when they opened the scoring. 1-0 down we tidied our game and clawed bac and scored. and again they scored making it 2-1, we had to come back again and we did drawing the score level at 2-2, we played our hearts out, attacking with ferocity and defending with intensity and towards the end of the game we managed to earn a penalty. Again Cherng Kai steeped up to take it, but this time he missed. With words of encouragement, we pulled ourselves together and managed to hold on until extra time. We knew we had to give it our all in this short extra time we had, and we made it count as we opened the scoring in extra time to make it 3-2. but what goes up must come down and we conceded a goal again to make it 3-3.
The game went on until it had to be decided by penalties. i did the same style in guarding the post as i did the 2 previous times i succesfully managed to save it but they still managed to score. 1-0.
Then Saad came to defend the goal, and he did some funny pose but we still managed to score. 1-1.
Since he gave a weird defending style, i did mine, blocking as much of the goalpost as i could but to no avail. score now 2-1. that was how it went until the score was level 2-2 and vicky stepped up to take the penalty............. and he missed. i screamed so loudly, this was it if we converted the next penalty that would mean we would have clinched the title of champions, and sure enough we did and i screamed out all that was in me. and that was it we are the champions
