The goalpost loomed ahead, and the Tigers' goalkeeper stood ready, his eyes locked onto Jake’s movements.Twenty seconds left.Jake’s breath came in ragged gasps. He saw a defender closing in and knew he had only one chance.
With every ounce of strength left in his body, he swung his foot and struck the ball. It rocketed off his boot, cutting through the rain-soaked air, spinning wildly toward the top-left corner of the net.
