Tense Nerves 2

The ball sailed through the night sky, dropping toward Muriel, who outmuscled his marker and brought it down with his chest. With a quick turn, he poked a pass to Pereyra, who surged forward into space.

[Udinese are on the move again!]

Pereyra spotted Lazzari overlapping on the left and threaded the ball through. Lazzari reached it just before the byline and whipped in a teasing cross.

[Di Natale's waiting—]

Di Natale lunged, his foot making contact mid-air—but Alvarado reacted instantly, diving low to push the ball away!

[Alvarado again! How many times will he save AZ Alkmaar tonight?!]

Marco whistled. [That's top-class goalkeeping. Di Natale struck that cleanly, but Alvarado read it perfectly]

The AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper wasted no time, jumping to his feet and rolling the ball out to Berghuis on the right wing.

The winger turned sharply and sprinted forward, the Udinese defense scrambling to get back.
