Chapter 421: Glory Addict IV

*Fweeeeeeee*

The extra time first period was over and the score was still 2 : 2 in the favor of both teams and no one had managed to break the deadlock even after fifteen minutes of extra time.

This was not to say that both teams didn’t try, but rather, they had both played like they weren’t the slightest bit exhausted and went against each other with all that they had.

The Nacional team had managed to create a few chances and had almost scored on two occasions, but things had not gone in their way and Marchesin had managed to keep his team afloat.

The Oporto team had also had quite a few chances with the most remarkable one where Jason had managed to draw out his markers and then gotten past them with a well executed skill move before sending a pass to Evanilson who had hit the ball into the back of the net but was ruled offside because he was a few centimeters ahead of the last man when the ball left Jason’s foot.

There were a few other chances, but like the scoreboard showed, none of them had ended at the back of the net and it was now time for the second half of extra time.

The match soon resumed with both teams still doing their best to take the lead before the time ran out.

The Oporto was the obviously more tenacious side and this began to show up more and more as the clock ran down and finally in the 115th minute, everything changed.

Viera sent a long through pass to the left flank where Diaz ran to meet it, beating his marker for pace and getting to the end of the pass.

Without getting the ball under control, he sent a powerful curling cross into the penalty box.

Jason ran into the path of the ball and jumped at the ball with a flying kick despite not being in front of the goal, barely touching the ball just enough to slightly change it’s direction and giving it a bit more elevation.

{Jason reaches it!?}

The Nacional goalkeeper did not realize what was going on until it was too late.

The ball flew over him and just barely managed to clip the inside of the right post before bouncing into the back of the net.

{GOAL!!!}

They could not afford to be rash now and concede yet another goal, but the remaining time on the clock did not allow them to sit around and pass the ball among themselves for much longer.

With less than three minutes to go, they quickly launched an attack, but before they could get far, they lost the ball and Oporto didn’t waste any time trying to hit them on the counter.

The desperate Nacional players quickly raced back and managed to slow down the Oporto team’s attack just in time before they could get clear on goal.

With the amount of time left, the Oporto team could easily sit back with the ball and wait for time to run out, but after being on the back foot for most of the match, they were burning with the desire to show who was the top dog.

The ball moved from player to player and soon the ball found Diaz inside the penalty box and he tried to find enough space for a shot, but all the ways out was blocked and he turned around to pass the ball back.

Viera received the ball, bringing it under control with one touch and sending it to Jason who was near the left corner of the penalty box with another touch.

Jason’s first touch of the ball eliminated his marker and pushed the ball into shooting distance in one smooth movement and he followed with a shot, applying as much curl as he could to the ball.

The ball took off slowly from the ground and flew high, looking like it was going wide, but it soon began curling inward and just barely managed to scrape past the top right corner before ending in the back of the goal.

{Oh!!! Magnificent!}

{What a hit What a hit!}

{It was decorated with both dip and curl!}

{Surely it has given them the glory!!!}

{There’s no catching them now! Surely!} the commentator cried out, but Jason was already brazenly charging down to the sidelines, but he didn’t stop and ran up close enough and started slapping the palms of all the Oporto fans raging in excitement.

Not stopping there, he collected one of the fans phones and turned on the camera before turning to the crowd and taking a selfie with both him and the fans in the picture.

{Say Cheese!!!} the commentator shouted with a laugh, also infected by the excitement spreading in the stadium.
