Fweeeee!~
The referee glanced around the field one last time before blowing his whistle to restart the game.
The energy in the stadium was palpable, and the roar of the home fans pushed AZ Alkmaar forward as if willing them to strike back immediately.
Benjamin, now fully upright, took his position on the left wing. His expression was steely, and his jaw clenched as he focused on the task at hand.
The ball rolled to Henriksen in midfield, who immediately looked up and played a diagonal pass toward Benjamin.
[They're not wasting any time here,] the lead commentator said as Benjamin trapped the ball with a deft touch. [AZ Alkmaar want to make a statement]
[And who better than Benjamin to deliver it? He's been the spark in their attack all night,] the co-commentator replied.
