Against All Odds: Legacy Of A Football King

Waterman stood rooted to his spot. He could only watch helplessly as the ball flew past him and smashed against the inside of the left post.

The stadium fell into a momentary silence, the tension unbearable.

The ball ricocheted across the face of the goal, striking the inside of the right post with equal ferocity.

Gasps turned into cheers and groans as Bouma scrambled to clear the loose ball with an outstretched leg, sending it out for a corner.

[Unbelievable! It's hit both posts!] Mike shouted, his voice nearly cracking. [How did that not go in?]

[What a strike from the youngster!] the co-commentator added, awe evident in his tone. [Benjamin Rijkaard almost produced a moment of magic!]

The AZ Alkmaar fans behind the goal had their hands on their heads, disbelief etched on their faces.

On the pitch, Benjamin stood with his hands on his hips, shaking his head as his teammates rushed to pat him on the back.
