Chapter Three: The Price of Match Four

After ninety seconds, Starport exploited the left and scored. Jianxia felt relieved. ZERO predicted a two-one Falcons win, but it had not described the route. An early setback proved that the path could change. In the tenth minute, Qiao Ran equalized. Forty seconds remained in the second half, and the score was still one-all. Starport replaced its goalkeeper with a fifth attacker to protect the draw through possession. Wei Lan blocked a shot, and the loose ball reached Chen Sui. “Shoot!” the entire arena shouted. Chen Sui stood in her own half with an empty goal twenty meters away. As she drew back her foot, a Starport player rushed in from behind.
