212 - Champions League Final (Part 7)

Jimenez, on the edge of the field, gesticulated intensely.

"Close the spaces! Don't let them turn the ball so easily!" Eddie shouted, his voice almost lost in the deafening noise of the crowd.

On the bench, the Brighton players watched the game with their nerves on edge.

Mark, the reserve goalkeeper, held his hands together, as if in silent prayer for Anton to keep shutting him down. Parker and Kevin, the substitute defenders, didn't even understand the difficulty of marking a striker like Nishida.

Hillebrand, Willian, and the other reserves were leaning forward and wanting to get into the game.

On the pitch, Nishida seemed unstoppable. In one move, Nishida dominated on the edge of the box and shot with venom. The ball deflected off Luiz Fernando and, for a moment, looked like it was going to fool Anton. However, the Brighton goalkeeper stretched to his utmost and pulled off another miraculous save.
