Another 135: V1 versus V3

ALREADY 5 MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF OF EXTRA TIME AND THIS IS... A STALEMATE!!


EVEN THOUGH THEIR WEAKNESSES ARE EXPOSED, NEITHER TEAM MANAGES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! TSUBASA, COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED, CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP TOHO... BUT EVERYONE ELSE IN NANKATSU, DESPITE THE FATIGUE, IS MANAGING TO COVER FOR HIM!


NANKATSU IS SHOOTING AT THE GOAL, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GOAL SINCE WAKASHIMAZU CAN'T SEEM TO USE HIS RIGHT ARM...


BUT TOHO IS ALSO COVERING FOR HIM MAGNIFICENTLY! IF THIS GOES ON... BUT LET'S NOT GET TO THAT ALREADY!


Damn, this is the worst possible timing... Come on, body, just a little more...!!

SAWADA HAS THE BALL AND.. HE'S QUICKLY PASSING IT FORWARD!


HYUGA IS HEAVILY MARKED BY TAKI AND KISUGI... AH? BUT IT'S SORIMACHI WHO IS RUNNING FORWARD!!

It doesn't matter, our defense line is solid!!

BUT NO! SORIMACHI ACTED AS A DECOY, WHILE IT WAS A PINPOINT PASS TO HYUGA! TAKI AND KISUGI, TAKEN ABACK, ARE LATE TO PERFORM A DOUBLE LEG BLOCK AND HYUGA IS GETTING PAST THEM FORCIBLY!

This is it...!! The victorious goal will be now!!

Thanks to Sorimachi, their sweeper shifted a little... At first you'd think there's still no gap...

But considering this guy's state, and despite the distance... There's a way for my tiger shot!!

Come on body! You have to move!! If that guy can keep going, I can too!!
Take this... !!
Move!!
...!! That sensation!! My striker sense is telling me... It won't...

No! Don't hesitate!! There's no way this guy can...

HYUGA IS SHOOTING THROUGH TSUBASA...!! AH, BUT TSUBASA IS MOVING, HE'S BLOCKING...

Wh... What!!

No way!! All these times he defended against the tiger shot in the first half... It was... On purpose to
perfect his timing...!?

TSUBASA MOVED!! HE'S RESURRECTED! LIKE A PHOENIX...!! HIS CLEARANCE IS... AHH... DON'T TELL ME...

There's no way I will let you score from so far away...!!

THIS IS ACTUALLY A SHOT!! BUT WAKASHIMAZU MANAGES TO CATCH IT WITH BOTH HANDS...!! AH, BUT THERE'S BLOOD!! IT'S BLOWING AWAY WAKASHIMAZU!! THIS IS...

A... Miracle... No way...

THIS IS A GOAL!! NANKATSU SCORED WITH TSUBASA'S COUNTER SHOT!! 4-3 FOR NANKATSU!! AND... AND A HAT TRICK FOR TSUBASA!! THE... THE DARK HORSE NANKATSU HAS ACTUALLY MANAGED TO PREVENT THE KING, TOHO, FROM GETTING THEIR V3!! NANKATSU IS ON THEIR WAY TOWARDS THEIR V1!! OF COURSE, THERE IS STILL 4 MINUTES LEFT... MAYBE TOHO CAN SCORE BACK!!


... But don't count on it, Toho...
... We'll defend Tsubasa's goal for sure...

Nankatsu will prevent Toho from getting their V3...
Nankatsu will get a V1 in the winters' nationals...

This is our dream...
And that dream will come true!!
