"Time laspe", Luis muttered softly as the world seemed to turn grey around Iwa-Eni. Iwa-Eni felt his body reacting very slowly to his mind and he looked on in horror as Luis dashed pass him.
"Here make it count" Luis shouted as he crossed the ball to Happy at the right end of the field.
Happy made a run for the incoming ball with Saul Lennon at his heels, Happy had a slight smile as he immediately volleyed the ball into the penalty box after tricking Saul into a false run. Before the goalie could react Frank had already slotted the ball in with a soft header.
Goal! Goal!! Goal!!!
(28 minutes Goal Frank Anyaim, assist: Happy Petra)
The fans of Daniest FC roared in excitement with the opening goal of the game, while Frank celebrated the goal by pointing two fingers to the sky.

A day before the match...
"Coach Hans, can I watch all the soccer matches Lourdes had played especially the ones that they played against you", Happy requested as he enters his office.
"Huh, you can easily get that on the internet so why ask me", coach Hans asked in a perplexed manner trying to wrap his head round why Happy will make such an absurd request when he can easily get it on the internet.
"The reason why I personally asked you for the clips is because I want to watch the match from your angle and perspective", Happy replied with a smile.
"As you wish, let's see which tactics you come up with", coach Hans said with a sigh as he showed Happy the data he had collected and the tactics he had made concerning the match against Lourdes.
A while later...
Happy had an odd expression on his face, after watching several clips compiled by the coach for tactical purposes he couldn't help but complain.
"how come they always win you guys"
Coach Hans couldn't help but feel his lips twitch intensely as Happy words rung in his ears.
'what the hell is, how come they always win guys. Bro, aren't you part of the team'
seeing the coach's pained expression, Happy quickly added,
"but technically I wasn't in the losing team team, what am u even saying, I wasn't even in the club".
coach Hans rolled his eyes and quickly steered the topic back on track.
"so from your expression it seems you have figured out a way to get a victory"
"sir please don't get me wrong, I didn't figure out a way to get a victory", Happy replied with a wrong expression.
At this moment coach Hans felt his hand go itchy as he really felt the strong urge to slap the young lad before him.
"what do you mean by that", he said through his teeth finding it hard not to face slap him.
Seeing that the coach was about to erupt with anger, Happy quickly pacified him.
"respectable sir, what I meant is that only aiming for victory is really belittling my capabilities. I am not aiming for victory, what am aiming for is the total crushing of that lofty Lourdes"
"and how do you expect to do that", coach Hans asked curiously.
"simple, by having fun while playing soccer", Happy responded slowly while he rested lazily on the chair.
coach Hans shook his head as the word tactics lost its meaning the more he stared at Happy.

Lilith had a smile that ran a marathon across her face as she unknowingly hugged Mrs Petra while celebrating the goal, but when she came to her senses she felt a stinging pain on her forehead as Mrs Petra flicked her there.
"Seems like your are becoming seriously uncultured by the second, how can you just jump on some like that or should I call the twins over to teach you some proper etiquette", Mrs Petra berated.
"No no no, it won't happen again" Lilith quickly pleaded as she felt a colld sweat drip down her back as the smile of those transformed scimitars flashed in her memory.
"Don't worry ma'am this kid.will behave herself next time", Lilith quickly added to ease Mrs Petra anger but she didn't know that she had fanned the flames as Mrs Petra chopped her head in fury.
"Who are you calling ma'am, am old to you" sh scolded.
"No ma'am, am sorry uhmm, no my lady, you are not old at all but instead you are a blossoming flower", though Lilith said this out loud, in her mind she said a different thing altogether.
'dafuck, if you ain't old then am not even a cell. Seriously you are a primordial god, that means you are not only old but ancient' she cursed in the depts of her heart but she dare not say it out loud.

37 minutes into the game...
Frank's goal had put a lot of pressure on Lourdes attackers as the fought hard to find an equaliser.
Ezra Lee had won the ball in the midfield from Godson, he pushed the ball forward as he laid out a cross to Emmanuel Isunguyo.
"frost veil", he shouted as he activated his superpotentia technique.
White mist flowed out of Emmanuel Isunguyo body and covered three metres around him blocking the veil of his opponents.
Daniest defence were on the edge due to the misty veil and also they don't know the direction the ball will come from.
Eric Ekeng was startled when when the ball flew out of the mist towards his direction, it was already late when he recovered his composure as Victor Isunguyo had beaten him to the all.
"blazing wolf" he muttered slowly.
The ball rose slowly in the air before Victor Isunguyo as a berserk flame energy revolved round the ball, he had a smirk which n his face as he kicked the ball with his might. The went directly to the goalie, as it soared an ethereal flame wolf appeared with the ball as its core.
"iron fortress", Luke Marcus roared as he activated his superpotentia technique.
Am imposing iron fortress appeared behind him as the flame wolf collided with it, Luke gritted his teeth as he glanced at his energy reading band.
'shit am low on energy, how much of a fucking energy does this dude have', Luke cursed internally with a heavy heart.
'Fidelis I think it's up to you now, I tried to stall it for some time', Luke thought as he ran out of superpotentia energy which brought about the collapse of his iron fortress while the flame wolf continued surging forward.
"Aegis come forth", Fidelis roared as he activated his superpotentia technique while an ethereal shield appeared on his hand.
