When it came to the matter of who was supposed to be the man of the match for the game that had just been concluded, there were two clear contenders on Unique FC's side.
The goalkeeper who did really well to support his team more than any other goalkeeper could do in this modern day, finding the back of the net once and providing an assist.
Then there was the winger who has had way better games compared to this one as he missed a lot of good chances early on but he did manage to find the back of the net twice, scoring that wonderful overhead kick just after they lost Minino to keep their morale up.
It was too close to call between the two but to anyone who clearly observed the match, one had a slight edge over the other.
"The man of the match for the game is Dave Richards."
That was announced just after the end of the game and it would be a huge offense to say that it was undeserved in any way, but there were still some people who thought Mateo deserved it.
"Well, would you look at that folks, looks like this game has finally drawn to a close. Both teams seemed to be equally matched in the first half of the game, and that was why things had to change in the second half of the game." Jim articulated. "Unique FC came with the heat and Dynamo just couldn't keep up even after getting the advantage of playing with one more player."
"I think the problem lies with Frank leaving, their team started to look considerably inferior to Unique FC after the midfielder had to exit the game, he was like the glue that held the team together, creating chances for his teammates and himself but once he was taken off, the creativity on Dynamo's side died and that was exactly what Unique needed.
I guess Minino read that much into it and decided to do what he did." Steve commented.
"Probably. Moving on, with this victory, Unique FC will be moving on to the semi-final where they will be facing second-division side, Norlin FC who managed to scrape through with a two goals to one victory against Junami United today.
"And on the other side of things, Supreme United will be facing Litno FC to determine which of them will be making it to the finals."
"With that setting, there's a good chance we'll be getting a Bilbeth Super Cup final between the top two teams of the league according to the table currently, that sure will be exciting to see." Steve articulated.
After that, they went on to talk about a couple of other things before finally ending the broadcast.
At the moment, the Unique FC squad could be seen standing in front of the fans, waving at them while they waved back and praised them with bright smiles overflowing with joy and ecstasy on their faces.
It had been a while since they'd experienced this kind of season and they just couldn't contain their joy.
It has been a long journey of defeats, humiliation, and regrets but they were on the right track to a treble now.
"You're doing a great job, Norman!" A certain section of the crowd screamed.
"We hope all of you stay forever! Especially Dave and Mateo!"
Hearing that, Dave couldn't help but bring his gaze down with a sigh.
"I certainly can promise you that." He muttered.
After a while of thanking the fans for coming to cheer them on today, it was finally time for the players to start heading down.
"Uhhh, I'm just glad we managed to pull through somehow." He rephrased his words, his voice calmer than usual.
"Yeah, me too." Mateo sighed. "So, Dave..."
He turned toward the goalkeeper's locker at that moment to find out that he wasn't in the room at the moment.
"Oh, he left."
The goalkeeper was in the bathroom at that moment, staring at the image of himself in the mirror but that wasn't really what he was there to do.
