Another Goal?

We battled back and forth through the rest of the half, but when it seemed like the ref was about to blow the halftime whistle, our goalie, Pen, had made a spectacular save. He dove to his right after a blast from the top of the goalie box. His body was parallel to the ground. He got his hands on the ball and pulled it into his body. He got up, and the crowd started to cheer loudly. My teammates shouted to him, “Great save,â€? and “Good job,â€? while he punted the ball to midfield. I trapped the ball with my chest and turned around starting to dribble. I took it down the left side plank and drew defenders while my teammates were running down the middle of the field. When I had gotten to the corner of the left side, I cut the ball back and crossed it to the middle of the box with my right foot. It looked like there were about five white jerseys and seven black jerseys.
