The clock was showing forty minutes now and yet the score was still even as none of the sides had been able to penetrate their opponent's defenses and strike a deadly blow.
They've been finding the gaps on their opponent's sides but their finishing had not been good enough.
Okafor had been trying his outside-the-box shots whenever he found the space but two of them had flown over the bar while one which had been shot directly at Dave was an easy catch for the goalkeeper.
Unique FC had also gotten their chances, two chances to be precise.
The first chance was a low cross into the box from Roland, Merino had gotten hold of the ball at the other end and could have easily put it away at the bottom right-hand corner of the goal post but he was a bit off balance when he got the ball so his shot had gone wild but it came really close to hitting the crossbar at least.
The second chance came from a clever run from Ferran, the midfielder ran down the middle and did quick stepovers to get rid of two players who were trying to stop him.
On getting to the edge of the box, he found Fredinho quickly making a run into the box and passed the ball to him.
All Fredinho needed to do was get a touch on the ball to send it flying toward the goal post but the players heading toward him at that time seemed to have put a lot of pressure on him as he blasted the ball wide from the top.
"This match is turning out to be tougher than I expected," Jim said.
Lesica United were the ones with the ball with forty-two minutes showing on the clock and they seemed to be getting desperate for a goal now as they were quickly pushing their attack.
Their central midfielder was currently moving forward with the ball with Ferran quickly making his way toward him from behind but before Ferran could get to him, he passed the ball to Okafor who quickly passed it to the left winger who had a little space to cover before he got closer to the retreating defense of the hosts.
Minino quickly made his way to the winger to try and dispossess him and he had almost done it by bringing the winger down under a nice challenge but the player quickly grabbed the ball with his feet while he was on the floor, turned toward Okafor who had gotten a little close to him and pushed the ball to him.
"Good job Jonathan," Okafor said as he trapped the ball under his foot.
He sensed Pirlo coming toward him at a fast pace and quickly moved back with the ball to avoid the defender before quickly passing the ball to the central midfielder who was close to him now.
"Over here, Levi!" The right winger yelled as he ran toward Roland.
The midfielder heard his call and quickly passed the ball to him.
"Lesica United are looking dangerous here."
The winger tried everything possible to shake off Roland but the youngster wasn't giving in.
"Yeah, but it looks like he's having trouble with Roland," Steve said.
The winger tried everything possible and had almost lost the ball in the process but that was all he needed to find a space to get past him.
Roland stretched his leg toward him and had almost kicked the ball out for a throw-in when the winger quickly grabbed the ball with his right foot and quickly shifted away from the left back.
"No," Roland muttered.
"It looks like he's through now," Jim said.
The winger moved forward and found Okafor inside the box with a neat pass.
Okafor had Aima on him and needed to move back with the ball a little to create enough space to curl the ball into the box from the top left-hand corner but before he could do that, he was brought down by Aima who quickly raised his hand to claim that he didn't touch him but the referee had seen what he wanted to see as he blew his whistle as soon as the striker hit the floor.
"Oh, dear, it's a foul against Unique FC in their box," Jim said.
"How the heck is that a foul?!" Adolf seemed furious as he quickly made his way to the referee but he wasn't the only Unique FC player who had something to say to the referee.
"That didn't look like a foul to me," Dave muttered.
'Okay.'
The referee blew his whistle after he was sure everything was in order and now all that was left was for Okafor to take the kick.
He closed his eyes and opened them with a sigh before taking two steps backward.
'He's probably going to put it on the left side.' Dave thought.
Before the goalkeeper knew what was happening, the striker quickly raced toward the ball and slotted it into the back of the net from the top right side of the goalpost.
"He's put it away, they've finally got that opener!" Jim exclaimed.
Lesica United fans burst out in cheers as the players gathered around Okafor.
Unique FC players had devastated looks on their faces.
'If that attribute was active, maybe I would have been fast enough to make that save.'
