AFTER CIRCULATING THE BALL, NANKATSU IS FINALLY SENDING THE BALL TO TSUBASA! ALONGSIDE HIM, KISUGI AND TAKI ARE RUNNING AHEAD!

TSUBASA WAS IN RANGE FOR A DRIVE SHOT, AND YET THIS TIME HE'S DRIBBLING THROUGH TOHO'S DEFENSE LINE! IS HE GOING TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE NOW?

AND TSUBASA IS SHOOTING! AHHH BUT... HE'S MISSING THE BALL!? A FUMBLE?

AHH, NO! TSUBASA, SWINGING HIS LEG BACK, IS IN FACT DOING A SIDE PASS TO KISUGI!! IT WAS TO TRICK WAKASHIMAZU!! VOLLEY SHOT FROM KISUGI!

BUT WAKASHIMAZU, FLAT-FOOTED, USED HIS HANDS TO JUMP ON THE OTHER SIDE AND REPELS KISUGI'S SHOT WITH HIS FOOT!!

BUT TOO BAD FOR TOHO, TAKI IS THE FIRST TO REACT TO THIS REPELLED BALL, AND IS IMMEDIATELY SENDING IT TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE GOAL!!

AND TSUBASA IS IMMEDIATELY KICKING THIS BALL WITH A JUMPING VOLLEY, ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WAKASHIMAZU, ONCE AGAIN FLAT-FOOTED! AHHH BUT...

NO! WAKASHIMAZU IS MANAGING TO CATCH IT!!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLY FINE PLAY! WAKASHIMAZU JUMPED ON THE GOAL POST TO DIVE TO THE OTHER SIDE, A TECHNIQUE HE ALREADY USED AGAINST MUSASHI, HE ALSO DID IT AGAINST SHUTETSU TO JUMP HIGH IN A HURRY!!

THE CROWD IS ANSWERING TO WAKASHIMAZU'S INCREDIBLE PLAY WITH A ROUND OF CHEERINGS AND APPLAUSES! IT WAS A FINE PLAY TRULY WORTHY OF A FINAL!!

TOHO IS CIRCULATING THE BALL, MAKING IT PRETTY CLEAR THEY COULD ATTACK FROM ANYWHERE! RIGHT, LEFT, AND CENTER! HOWEVER THE SIDES ARE COVERED WELL BY IZAWA AND ISHIZAKI!

THUS, TOHO HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTACK FROM THE CENTER! SAWADA HAS THE BALL, BUT TSUBASA IS QUICKLY COMING TO MARK HIM...

BUT TSUBASA'S EXPERIENCE DOESN'T ALLOW THE TINY TECHNICIAN TO BREAK THROUGH!!

HOWEVER, SAWADA TURNED AROUND TO TACKLE TSUBASA! DODGING BY A HAIR'S BREADTH, HE CAN'T HOWEVER, DODGE SORIMACHI AS WELL, WHO WENT BACK TO THE MIDFIELD LIKE HYUGA EARLIER!!

THEN, SORIMACHI IS IMMEDIATELY SHOOTING! IT'S STRONG, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ON TARGET...

AH, BUT THE ACE STRIKER HYUGA IS REACTING TO THIS SHOT! HE'S JUMPING...

TAKASUGI IS JUMPING TOO, BUT HE'S LATE!! WILL HE BE ON TIME TO STOP HYUGA!?
