章節 634: A Tight Score

Explosive flames of excitement engulfed the stadium when Zachary's incredible celebration set the field ablaze. 

The Ivorian players and substitutes hurried to the touchline, embracing Zachary with bear hugs and high fives while cheering with all their might. In response, the African fans in the stands roared with thunderous applause as if they were longing to rush into the field and be part of the electrifying festivities.

But the celebrations were cut short by the sudden yell from Maxwel Cornet, one of the substitutes. He had an important message from the coach. 

"Guys!" he said, trying to grab everyone's attention. "Now that we're in the lead, the coach wants us to work hard and avoid conceding a goal until half-time. We must play as a team, work harder off and on the ball, and give our best shot. You can do it, guys! And if you can't, I'm still waiting on the bench to take any of your positions."
