{He gets a shot away!?} The commentator shouted as he watched Jason shoot.

The ball flew at the Sierra Leone goal, but the Sierra Leone goalkeeper was on top of his game and did not hesitate to dive for the ball, just barely managing to reach it and deflect it.

*Clang!*

{It’s the bar again!} The commentator shouted on hearing the sound of the ball rifling against the outside of the goalpost before flying out of play.

Jason had his hands on his head as he watched the ball fly out of play instead of in the back of the net.

{Sierra Leone have survived, but just barely and they owe their survival to their goalkeeper}

{I still can’t believe that none of those earlier shots didn’t go in}

{There are at least eight minutes left in this game and the Sierra Leone team cannot dare to relax now}

# 85th minute...

After receiving scares from the Nigerian team, the Sierra Leone team did not dare to continue just staying back to defend their goal.

They couldn’t only be on the receiving end, otherwise the ball would inevitably end up in the back of their net.

That led to them looking for any chance on the counter and a chance soon opened up for them when Aina misjudged the power he put in a pass and the ball ended up intercepted by a Sierra Leone player.

The Sierra Leone team immediately burst forward and the ball smoothly moved between the Sierra Leone players as they quickly advanced on Nigeria’s 18-yard box.

The moment the ball took off from his leg, Iwobi had an inkling that he had messed up.

He had been a bit too eager and had hit the ball with more power than he was supposed to.

Even the curl he had put into the ball was too much as the ball flew too high and was heading out of play after flying across the goal with no one able to reach it.

As the ball flew, the Sierra Leone players let down their guard as the ball was obviously flying out of play, but one player didn’t give up on the ball even though there was no way to send the ball into the net.

Osimen chased after the ball and managed to get to it just before it crossed the line and flew out of play.

He took off into the air and did his best to head the ball backwards into the penalty box, hoping his teammates could do something with the ball.

As Osimen flew out of play instead of the ball, the ball he managed to get his head to bounced off his head and came back towards the center of the box where Jason was, but Jason wasn’t expecting the ball to come his way and by the time he caught himself, the ball was already almost reaching him.

At this point, it was already too late to jump for the ball as he definitely could not reach the ball in time, yet despite seeming out of options, Jason’s body did not hesitate to move.

His mind had not yet comprehended how he planned to send the ball back into the net, but his body was already moving and by the time he caught himself, his body had already turned his back to the ball and was already in a motion he recognized.

Jason did not hesitate to go along with it and leaped into the air with his back to the ball that was flying at him before angling himself and then hitting the ball just as it flew over his head.

Jason’s posture as he hit the ball was a posture anyone who had watched the Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Juventus would recognize.

It was the posture Cristiano Ronaldo was in as he scored the most memorable goal in all Champions League history.

{JASOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!}
