The match had kicked off and for ten minutes now Unique FC had kept the ball away from Ronino FC.

Ronino FC was playing a four-five-one formation just like they always did, five players in the midfield wasn't good for any team, that is if you have five formidable midfielders.

Ferran received the ball from Edward but his path had immediately gotten blocked by two midfielders forcing him to quickly pass the ball to Harry in the left midfield position.

Harry played a through ball to Fred but a defender had quickly swooshed in from the right to steal the ball before he could get to it.

"Finally, Ronino FC has gotten possession of the ball after seventeen minutes," Jim said.

The defender quickly passed the ball to one of the midfielders who rolled it back to the center back who was making a run to the center of the pitch.

He didn't even pass the ball as that was the right momentum he needed to lob the ball.

Their center forward tried to get past Adolf but he wasn't successful.

He wasn't successful in getting past the center back but he was successful in winning the ball as he brought it down with his chest before rolling it to the right midfielder who was making a run toward Jonas.

Jonas tried to clear the ball with a slide but that was a terrible mistake as the midfielder turned the ball away from him with a neat touch before continuing his run down the right.

"Oh, that was a terrible mistake from Jonas," Jim said.

Pirlo had blocked his path to stop him from entering the eighteen-yard box but entering the eighteen-yard box wasn't a problem as he ran down further and then made a quick turn before crossing the ball into the middle.

Adolf rose high above the other players to nod the ball out but that nodding wasn't actually a good clearance.

The edge of Unique FC's box was occupied by three Ronino FC midfielders and the ball was now heading toward the one in the middle.

The player didn't even wait for the ball to drop to the floor as he quickly sent the ball flying toward the bottom right corner with a volley.

"What a volley!" Jim screamed.

Dave happened to be at the right place at the right time as he quickly stuck his leg out and the ball bounced on it before flying off the eighteen-yard box.

"What a save! Dave with another crucial save!" Jim screamed.

"He's already started to prove that the last match wasn't a fluke," Steve said.

The rebound had fallen to Norman Mole's feet and he had immediately rolled it to Edward who was leading a counter-attack on the guests.

"Oh, Unique FC are looking to cook up something here," Jim said.

Edward passed the ball to Harry who made a run down the left before squaring it back to Edward at the edge of the box.

Ferran had made a run into the box as Edward quickly found him with a lob.

He had two defenders closing up on him as Fred dragged the other one away from him.

Ferran got the ball under control after it had bounced on the floor and with a powerful shot sent the ball flying toward the top right-hand corner but he seemed to have overhit it a bit as the ball bounced on the crossbar and flew over the bar.

"Oh, that was so close," Jim uttered.

"Yeah, and the goalkeeper was completely glued to the spot," Steve said.

"Both teams have tried a shot on each other with failed attempts, both got really close but Ronino FC got way closer and if it weren't for Dave Richards, they would be one goal behind already," Jim said.

[ Crucial saves: â…“ ]

<That was a nice save>

'I didn't even know when I stuck my leg out but I'm glad I did.'

The match continued till the fortieth minute with both sides making two more failed attempts, none of the shots were on target.

Unique FC were dominating the match on ball possession, they had sixty-two percent of the ball possession while their guests had thirty-eight percent of ball possession.

"Unique FC once again bossing the game on possession level but they seem to be lacking ideas,attacking-wise," Jim said.

"Same goes for Ronino FC, both teams are doing wonderfully defensively but their attack is not doing anything," Steve said.

Minino ran down the right with the ball before rolling the ball to Edward.

Edward rolled the ball back to Jonas on the left, Jonas trapped the ball and moved it forward a little before passing it to Harry.

Harry attempted to zoom past the midfielder blocking his path but he knew he wouldn't be able to get past him, but that wasn't the only option he had.

He passed the ball to Jonas before making a quick run past the player marking him before receiving the ball from Jonas.

He made a quick run down the middle before passing the ball to Ferran.

Ferran passed it back to Edward with a quick touch but before Edward could do what he wanted to do, he had gotten muscled off the ball by two Ronino FC players.

Adolf tried to get the ball back to prevent the counter-attack but the player had gotten past him with a nutmeg before rolling the ball to their center forward who was kept on side by Norman Kole.

Norman raised his hands for an offside but there was no response from the referee as the center forward kept moving with the ball.

"Oh, no one-on- one situation now!" Jim screamed as the center forward closed up on Dave with the defenders chasing him from behind.

<Don't do it!> Catherine warned but it was already too late as Dave had run out toward the striker.

"What's Dave doing?"

Dave running out of his lines was exactly what the striker needed as he quickly lobbed the ball over him.

Dave quickly realized his mistake as he tried to run back and knock the ball over the bar.

He almost got a hand to the ball as the ball bounced on the line and fell into the back of the net.

"What a goal!" Jim screamed.

"That was a costly mistake from the defense and they got properly punished for it," Steve said.

"I don't blame Dave for that goal but what was he thinking running out of his line like that?" Jim said.

The Ronin FC player who had the name Sandro written on the back of his jersey above the number nine ran toward the corner kick spot as his teammates ran toward him.

"Sandro's got his twelfth goal of the season," Jim said.

"Look at the look on Mateo's face, I honestly don't think he should be on the bench no matter what," Steve said.

Dave had a devastated look on his face as he sat on the floor with his back against the crossbar.

[ Quest failed ]

"You don't have to remind me." He grumbled.

<You should have listened to me Dave>

"Unique FC are now one goal behind with just three minutes of added time to go into the break, they still have a lot of time left to make a comeback but that may be difficult with Ronino's defensive wall," Jim said.
