Huge Impact: A Five Minutes Freewrite
The game was drawing agonizingly to an e d with the defending champions about to taste a defeat for the first time in the league. Such a record will definitely shatter the one they are about to create...an unbeaten run for about thirty matches. Their aim is to better their last year's record of 35 unbeaten run in the league or better still end it with an unbeaten run for the whole campaign.
Characteristically there are the nay sayers. They would not want such a record to be created except by their own darling team. They know that such a record portend a huge bragging rights among the followers of the various clubs.
The reigning champions are about to taste a defeat, albeit by a team everyone considers as a light weight team. Their coach could be seen running from one end of the pitch to the other. He needs to conjure up something, otherwise the unbelievable will happen.
He looked at the bench, he does not know whom to call upon to salvage a dire situation everyone has been let into. He decided to call upon a young man...to give him his first start in the league after twenty nine matches. He young lad looks timid when the coach gave him a sign to warm up. Everybody was surprised, the coaching staff and co-players alike.
Slowly the young lad made it to the touchline and in a matter of minutes his jersey number came up for substitution. He was literarily thrown into the fray with one simple task...worry the opposition with your pace and score!.
Just two minutes after his introduction, the young striker rattled the opposition goalkeeper with a stunning shot which made everyone to even stand up from their seats. That was a huge impact in the first place. His coach was impressed as he keeps urging him to do more....apply more pressure!
In his second attempt at goal from a ridiculous position and with few minutes to go, the round leather object ricocheted into the back of the net and the entire stadium was thrown into a wild ecstasy. The defending champions have survived a terrible scare.
