章 103: In It Together

The ball came flying toward the goalpost from thirty yards out, there wasn't much elevation as the ball was heading toward the bottom right side of the goalpost.

Dave dived toward the ball and with both of his hands formed into fists, he punched the ball out before it could fly into the goalpost.

The shot had been played by Minino who was jogging his way to him now.

"Nice save." The midfielder said just as he got closer to him.

"Thanks," Dave said, adjusting his gloves.

"Hey, Dave, Minino, think fast."

The two quickly turned to the side to see the ball from Mateo heading toward them from above.

The first thing Minino's instinct had told him was to jump up and put the ball into the back of the net with his head while Dave's instinct had told him to jump up and hit the ball out as he was in a really good position to get to the ball before Minino, he was off his goal line.
