章節 105: Penalty Shoot Out
From where he was, Sunny scream with his voice blending with the crowd cheers, everyone was surprise, the match is just a few seconds from ending and Lindsay decided to score a goal at that seconds, it's unbelievable.
The commentators couldn't stop screaming Emmy's name as if he was the one who score the goal, and the funniest thing is all his teammates ran to him as they celebrated together disregarding the fact that the end of his assist was finished by Elliott.
Now the match will be going into an extra time of 30 minutes, 15 minutes for each half, and if zero goal came from both sides till the end of the half, it will automatically lead to a penalty shoot out where fate will decide the outcome because a penalty shoot out is a 50/50 thing.
The crowd are really going crazy as the match is dragging more than it should have, but the most saving grace is that no other event is taking place after the match so they can drag it till the end of the day, if possible.

The extra time was far more fierce and full of energy than the full period of the match, a substitution was made from both sides mostly on the defense lane as they are trying to make their defense as solid as ever so they brought in new energies on both side.
Lindsay Coach removed their keeper and brought Bruce in as he could see that the match is dragging on to penalty shoot out and Bruce, although not skillful, but he's far better in penalty with his ability which grants him the power to see 2 seconds into the future.
One of the best ability against penalty shoot out.
The fans were hoping that the match won't end with a penalty shoot out but with both sides unable to find the back of the net after the extra time, the match ended with 1-1 draw and a penalty shoot out is needed to separate the tie.
Emmy almost made a life changing comeback at the last minute of the extra time but he was tackled down just outside the box by three defenders and then the match ended.
The penalty shoot out begin a minute just after the match ended, a group of five players came forward from both sides to play the penalty shoot out.
From Straitgate, there was Smith, Jamal, Toni, Andrea and Kyle, their captain while on Lindsay side, there was Karim, Russ, Elliott, Emmy and Joe.
Straitgate had the first shoot which Smith played diligently into the bottom left corner of the post, too fast for the keeper to save even though he knew where the ball was going.
Emmy took the first shot for Lindsay which was played into the top right corner of the post with a lightning speed. The next player, Jamal came forward and shoot it right at the right, it was also too fast for Bruce. Karim took the next shoot on Lindsay side which he fire into the top center of the net.
Andrea also came from Straitgate side and scored his goal, Joe did the same making the penalty scoreline 3-3. The next two shot from both sides also find the back of the next and it was a 5-5 tie, a new player needs to be selected from both sides to break the tie.
While observing the keeper, Emmy noticed that he had followed every single shot played by the opponent but was just unable to reach it in time, while the opponent keeper on the other hand will just go on a different direction where the ball had gone.
An idea of what Bruce ability might be popped into his head.
'It's either he had a mind reading ability or ability to see some seconds ahead, that's why he was able to follow each of their shots but was unable to get it because his agility is low.'
To confirm his suspicious, he observed as the next player for Straitgate fire his shot into the top left corner of the post, the shot was a bit slow but fast enough to go past the keeper as the ball brushes his fingertips.
'So sad none of them decided to play at the centre.'
It would've been a dead giveaway if one of the opponent's players shot it at the center because Bruce won't stress himself at all.
John came forward for Lindsay and slot his shot to the bottom left corner. If it continue like this, a player from either side will surely make a mistake and shot it out, Emmy feared that the mistake might come from their team as he don't have enough confidence in the other players, so he decided to test something out.
He activated the 'Buff Skill'

[Skill Description: This skill multiply your overall stat and your allies total stat by 3 for 5 minutes]
And just at that moment, all the Lindsay players on the field suddenly felt stronger, their body seems to be 3x agile and stronger than before, they're suddenly full of energy.
The seventh player came forward for Straitgate and fire his shot to the top right corner of the post, moving with a lightning speed, the keeper react just in time and threw out a punch which sends the ball back, flying out of the field.
Everybody screamed.
(WHAT A SAVE! This is an incredible save from Bruce, he had been keeping his eyes on every single shots from the opponent and now he made an incredible save. Straitgate will have to go home if the last shoot from Lindsay leads to a goal)
Arthur took the last shot which he simply tossed into the middle center of the net and then the crowd roars in cheers.
Everyone burst into the field.
(What a great performance from both teams, this is the biggest performance we have witness so far since the tournament begins. Lindsay Academy got into the Final round of the APST as they won with a penalty shoot out (7-6) against Straitgate College. Now Straitgate will have to fight for the third place while Lindsay will be facing the Royal Maniac)

Somewhere in the audience seat, Sunny couldn't stop smiling as he turned to the sad girl besides him.
"I clearly warned you not to make a bet with me, thank goodness I made the right request, now will you get away and never appear around me again."
He said with a devilish smile plastered across his face.
"And who said I would listen to you."
She said as she stood up angrily and walk into the happy and sad crowd.
"Those useless brats, they always claim to be the best and now they got me embarrassed."
Sunny's joy couldn't be contained, not only because he managed to chase the clingy girl away by making a bet with her but all the bet among the fans have been secretly organized by him through his underdogs and now he'll be getting his rewards as Lindsay won the match.
"Should I treat the whole team to a dinner, no the keeper saved them. I'll treat him to a dinner with Emmy."
He glanced at the sad girl who had just left angrily and smile somberly.
'I should have agreed to the date and set it up for Emmy with her.'
