Against All Odds: Legacy Of A Football King

The 77th minute arrived, and PSV mounted a fresh attack, their intent clear as Strootman played a precise diagonal ball out wide to Dries Mertens.

The Belgian winger controlled it effortlessly, his first touch killing the ball dead as he looked up to assess his options.

[Here's Dries Mertens,] Mike said, leaning forward. [We've seen what he's capable of—can he deliver here?]

Mertens drove toward the edge of the 18 yard box, his quick feet making him a nightmare for Marcellis, who hesitated to commit.

With a sharp turn, Mertens shifted the ball onto his stronger left foot, creating a yard of space.

[He's going for it!] the co-commentator said, his voice rising with excitement.

Mertens unleashed a curling effort toward the top corner. The ball soared past Esteban Alvarado, who dived at full stretch but seemed beaten.

[That's heading for the net!] Mike exclaimed, his voice brimming with anticipation.
