"I told you we were going to be late," Emma spoke up from behind me as we made our way through the stands. With this being the last game of the year, the boys will have quite a lot of people showing up to support.
"I know but work ran a little long today, plus you had that cheer meeting," I answered her as we took our seats next to Emma's girlfriends. Surprisingly, May's brother Reece and his friend are here which is new since they don't seem to get along with Liam and Rakim.
I'm not quite sure what went on with the boys, but they seemed to have split into two groups. Maybe it's due to the slight two-year age gap between the younger pair and them. The fact that Liam and Rakim are smart enough to be in the same grade as them doesn't help the ordeal. Oh well, it doesn't really matter as long as they don't start fighting.
"Hi, Rakim's Mom," Lexi who was sitting a row in front of us with her friends greeted me bringing me out of my musing. This girl is someone I didn't expect my son to make friends with as she seems like the definition of a girly girl.
6th minute of the game the Eagles initiated their first attack when Jake sent a quick grounded pass to Finn from the edge of his box. The midfielder remained cool-headed as he brought the ball under his control. Using his left hand to hold off the opposing midfielder he raised his foot ready to send a pass back. However, in the last moment out of the corner of his eye, he spotted one of the opposing wingers jumping the gun and rushing to his intended target. In that split second, he changed his mind using his raised foot to snatch the ball back performing an improvised Cruyff turn.
His sudden change of direction left his marker flat-footed allowing Finn to create some separation between them. Quickly dribbling past the halfway line Finn sent a sharp through ball towards the speedy Ben who managed to lose his marker. Bringing the ball under his control with his first touch he inserted himself towards the middle of the field.
Using a quick one-two pass with Tom he managed to lose the pursuit of a defender that latched onto to him. Now at the edge of with only one defender in his way, he took his chance. With a swing of his leg, he sent the ball soaring past the oncoming defender heading towards the goal.
By the time the defender had the chance to turn around to see the outcome of the shot he watched his keeper soaring across his line. In the next moment, the goalie stretched out his gloves firmly palming the ball away from his goal. Escaping the shot at their goal through the keeper's intervention St Arthurs's Prep left back swiftly took control of the ball.
Finally gaining possession of the ball the St Arthurs Prep players had no intention of easily giving it up. With that in mind, the left back calmly dribbled the ball forward forcing Max to step up to pressure him. The left-back had no plans on dribbling past Max as he came to a quick stop sending a swift pass to one of his midfielders.
With it being his first touch of the ball since the game started, he needed to take an extra touch to bring the ball under his control. It didn't take him more than a second to make a swift turn charging towards the Eagle's half. His movements set off a chain reaction as his teammates switched from their defensive mindset to full-on attack.
By the time he crossed the halfway line Ben who had sprinted back caught up to him looking to steal the ball. Just as he was shoulder to shoulder with him the St Arthur's midfielder gave him a quick nudge of the shoulder. The sudden contact was enough to send Ben stumbling to the ground, but the midfielder didn't mind that.
He continued dribbling forward a couple of steps before sending a defence-splitting through ball down his left flank. His team's number nine was there to latch onto the ball after slipping past Ole who dropped back to cover his defenders. Taking control of the ball at the edge of the box he swiftly slipped in looking to take a shot at goal. Logan who was caught flat-footed by his sudden insertion immediately gave chase to the striker.
