Chapter 14: Second Half Substitute

Immediately after the second half started, the Team A players charged into Team C's half of the field and oppressed them heavily with the ball while trying to find a goal-scoring chance.

It seemed that the ten minutes of break didn't cool off their attacking momentum and by the third minute they took the lead for the first time.

The players passed the ball cleverly among each other until they somehow passed the ball past the defenders and the striker ended up in front of Aarons with enough space to take a shot and he didn't disappoint.

He scored and put Team A in the lead for the first time since the match started, but Team A wasn't satisfied and immediately pressed heavily on Team C after they had kicked off until they snatched the ball back from them and began their attack.

Soon enough, the ball was passed to the right winger of team A who dribbled past Jayden on the wings before sending a grounded cross into the penalty area towards the striker who shot it first time and sent the ball smashing into the back of the net, scoring an hattrick and putting his team two goals ahead in the 7th minute of the second half.

Jason in the stands watched the ball smash into the back of the net and sighed before standing up and beginning to warm up as he would soon be coming on for his team.

By the 10th minute, Jason was standing on the sidelines while waiting for the ball to go out of play so he could come on while intently watching his team as they were currently the ones with the ball and attacking in team A's half.

Kurt found Orland with a cross into the box from the right side of the field and Orland jumped up high to get his head on the ball.

Luckily, he was able to get his head on the ball and direct the ball towards the goal.

The keeper dived for the ball but wasn't able to get a touch and the ball flew past him only to clip the crossbar and bounce back into play stunning everybody, but before anybody could react, Orland was back on the ball and quickly shot the rebound into the open goal with great power as if he feared that he would lose yet another goal-scoring chance

With his goal, he brought his team one goal closer to an equalizer.

5 : 4 was the current score.

Orland quickly took the ball from the net and began jogging back to the midfield as he recognized that this was no time to be jubilating while Nico headed to the sidelines.

Jason and Nico exchanged a high five before Jason ran onto the field and took position on the left wing while waiting for kickoff.

The match kicked off again after a few seconds but this time instead of attacking, team A seemed to be content with passing the ball around to each other in their half, no longer taking the initiative to attack, but team C didn't think much of this and began pressing heavily to get the ball.

Their heavy pressing paid off less than a minute later and they were soon back with the ball, but team A was now playing with all players behind the ball.

They had literally "parked the bus" and were willing to wait it out for the remaining 18 minutes or so that remained of the match since they were already winning.

Team C tried and tried again to break through but there were just too many players doing their best to get in their way and after wasting ten minutes trying unsuccessfully to break through, they were now trying to shoot from outside the box as soon as there was space.

Unfortunately, even with that, there was still no success until the 24th minute of the second half when Jason had just received the ball, but instead of passing, he charged down the left wing.

One of the midfielders tried doing a standing tackle to retrieve the ball but as soon he stretched his leg, Jason flicked the ball forward a little with the outside of his right foot before flicking it with even more strength with the inside of his right foot through the legs of the player.

Elastico!

After getting past the first player cleverly, two players approached speedily, seeing him as a threat while the player he had just got past quickly recovered and gave chase, but Jason didn't give up after seeing a space between the two approaching players.

As soon as the players were close enough, he rolled the ball towards his left with his right leg going over the ball before flicking the ball with the outside of his right foot past the two defenders and jumping between them after the ball.

Reverse Elastico!

The two players were stunned by the sudden move but quickly tried kicking and grabbing at Jason who had just gotten past them.

They weren't able to grab his clothes because he shook them off, but one of the players managed to kick him and sent him stumbling, but while almost falling, he used his hands to try to stabilize himself enough to get a pass away infield before finally falling.

The ball he'd passed ended up in front of Rico who was just outside the penalty area and Rico wasted no time in pulling the trigger and sending the ball toward the goal.

Players from team A lunged for the ball and one of them managed to get his leg to it and deflected it but luckily the deflection helped send the ball past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Jason pumped his fist even while on the floor as he saw the ball fall into the back of the net before laying down on the floor to catch his breath, but his teammates weren't planning on letting him rest as Rico jumped onto him before the others followed suit while he was still on the floor squashing him like a pancake yet again.

'Bruh, I wasn't even the one that scored,' he thought almost tearfully as he felt their sweat-filled bodies pressed against him.

"Stop guys, I'm dying here," he almost screamed feeling very uncomfortable with the sensation of humans with poles between their legs pressed against him.

Finally, after almost suffocating him to death, they stood up and began to make their way back for the kick.

Team A quickly kicked off looking to get a leading goal and they began to attack once again, but it was team C who had the momentum right now and they pressed heavily and won the ball back and were soon on the attack once again.

With the aid of his team, the ball quickly found Jason's legs once again, and he didn't waste any time charging toward his opponent's goal as soon as he had the ball, but he was once again faced with three players in his way.

Still on a high from successfully dribbling past players just about a minute ago, Jason didn't hesitate to dribble past the players. He did a couple of stepovers and got past the first player, nutmegged the second, and tried to feed the ball past the third player, but the third player wasn't having it.

He quickly grabbed hold of Jason's shirt and pulled him to the ground. Jason tried to escape his grip and shake him off, but the player didn't let go even after both of them fell to the ground, in fact, his grip became even stronger till he was even choking Jason with the jersey's collar.

Jason hit the guy's hand off fiercely at that point and stood up angrily to face the bastard.

"What's your deal man?" his tone didn't sound happy at all.

It was one thing to be fouled because he attempted dribbling and it was an entirely different thing for someone to make an attempt on his life just because he got past him, but the player wasn't being apologetic at all and even shoved Jason away, annoying him even more, but before he could react, the referee had gotten in-between them and was doing his best to prevent a fight from breaking out.
