Debut (2)

After an exciting first few minutes, the match became relatively boring. The quality that Teesside seemed to have in possession was lost. They kept giving away the ball cheaply. As a result, Oxford City engaged on so many counter attacks, although none of them yielded any fruit.

One thing that remained constant though, was the quality of the defense. After the first goal from Teesside, Oxford City's defense were completely switched on. They thwarted any form of offensive play from Teesside.

"Goddamnit!' Omari cursed in frustration. Yet another attacking attempt had gone down the drain. He wasn't really frustrated that they didn't score, he was frustrated about the fact that play was rarely brought to his side.

Whenever he was graced with the opportunity to touch the ball, all he could manage was to control the ball and pass it. He had no real opportunity to display his talents. So far, the only thing that had been established was the fact that he was a really good passer.

Sammy played a long ball over from the right flank to Omari. Omari got the ball under control with just two touches and found himself one on one with a defensive midfielder. He teased the ball a little bit before doing a stepover.

While he was keeping the defensive midfielder occupied, the left back already made a run behind the defensive midfielder. Part of Omari wanted to keep the ball with him and dribble into the box, but he understood how selfish and risky the idea was. As such, he heaved a depressed sigh mentally and played a through ball to the left back.

Barely two minutes later, Omari would find himself extremely grateful that he decided to pass the ball.

The left back was about to send a one time cross into the box but found himself obstructed by the opposition right back. Faced with that situation, the left back had no choice to pass the ball back to Omari who was at the edge of the box.

Omari got the ball and to his advantage, he had a lot of space in front of him. He intended to dribble forward a bit but all of a sudden, a thought flashed in his mind.

Should I risk it? I couldn't possibly risk it, it might not work. But then again, it might work. Fuck it, I'm risking it!

As those thoughts flashed through his mind, Omari picked his spot and his legs hit the ball.

Curler.

Omari watched as his ball went into the air and curled wide of the defenders that were inside the box. The goalkeeper made a dive in an attempt to stop the ball but could only stare in dismay as the ball curved past his hand and sunk back in, deflecting off the pot as it went into the net.

'And Omari Hutchingson takes the shot. AND OMARI HUTCHINGSON SCORES! WHAT A GOAL?! WHAT A BANGER OF A GOAL?!'

'Teesside multiply their advantage through a beautiful long range effort from their debut boy. Omari Hutchingson fancied his chances from way back there and took it beautifully. He's scored a goal and given them a bit of breathing space at the back. What a goal that was'

'Jeremy Farlan (Left back) just plays the ball back and Omari picks it up. You could just see that he's hesitated a bit before taking the shot, obviously he was weighing his options but at the end he's just decided, screw it, I'm gonna have a crack from here and he scores beautifully'

'The Teesside fans have gone absolutely wild. You could imagine how it feels for them to see one of their home grown players come out and score such a beautiful goal on his debut'

'It was only a matter of time wasn't it. Young lad was playing brilliant football over at the under eighteens. He got the promotion that he deserved and now he's got the goal he deserved, not just any type of goal, an absolute cracker of a goal. From twenty five yards out, he buried his shot in the back of the net, this absolutely isn't something that happens everyday'

'Real quality on the shot there, it curled around the defenders in the box, too far for the keeper to reach, they could all only watch as it entered into the back of the net. The manager can't be angry at his players for conceding that goal. There probably isn't any bit of defending that could've stopped that shot from going into the net'

At the touchline, while everyone was jumping around and celebrating, Michael stood still and looked at Omari with a serious expression. After a few seconds, his lips curled into a smile.

"You managed to find another one Jurg. Let's cross our fingers and hope that he doesn't end up like the last one" He muttered to himself. "Omari Hutchingson, in a matter of years, everyone will know his name"

I scored?! ... I fucking scored!

It took Omari a moment or two to process what had just happened. It all felt like some sort of a dream to him. One moment he was with the ball, and the next moment it was at the back of the net.

It was when the he heard the scream of the commentators that he realized what had happened

I fucking scrored!
