114 First Start VII

The second half kicked-off with Santa Clara in possession of the ball and as one would expect of a losing team, they passed boldly and surged into the Porto team's half of the field, trying to find something.

They were grasping at straws, but if they did not do even that much, then there was no point in them being acknowledged as professional footballers.

They were already losing anyway and the risk of going behind even more no longer mattered as much as the trying to gain something for the game.

It was an all or nothing situation and despite being the weaker team, they wouldn't be giving up that easily.

But Porto wasn't going to make it easy for them as they also stepped up their game, their morale bolstered by being in the lead.
