First Half –
The roar of the Mrsool Park crowd was deafening as the two teams stepped onto the pitch. Bright stadium lights illuminated the pristine grass, the humid Riyadh air clinging to the players' shirts.
Jake Wilson stood on the touchline, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the pitch. This was it. The first real test for his new squad.
He glanced at the system overlay in his vision.

Al Nassr – 65% Win Probability
Bradford City – 30% Win Probability
Nothing had changed. They were still the underdogs. But Jake wasn't interested in probabilities anymore.
He turned toward his bench, scanning his players' faces. Some were eager, some were tense. But none were afraid.
Good.
The referee blew his whistle.
Kickoff.
