It was nearly a forty-meter pass!
The ball arced high through the air, fast and floating. Supporters followed its flight with wide eyes, groaning—That's going out of bounds. Another turnover…
But just then, a flash of blue streaked along the right sideline, cutting past the red team's defense like lightning. He charged forward and leapt—soaring.
"My gods, look at that jump!" Gasps erupted from the stands. The player stretched his long arm, intercepting the ball mid-air. As it dropped, he clutched it tightly with both hands—just meters from the end zone.
"Stop him!" Red jerseys shouted frantically, their voices loud enough for the crowd to hear.
The nearest defender lunged. The blue player didn't dodge—momentum carried him forward. He dove headlong, dragging the tackler with him as both crashed heavily into the end zone. The ball was still secure in his arms.
Touchdown!
