61 Super Sub (2)

After the opener from Omari, Sunderland played like men possessed. They had very lengthy spells of possession, occasionally putting in some shots. It was a sight that no one thought that they were going to witness throughout the course of this game, Sunderland were actually pressuring Middlesbrough!

61'

Sunderland got another chance to score. Thomas Jarell (Left Midfielder) got the ball from Jack and started a counter attack. He dribbled down the left flank before playing a low searching cross into the box. Adam Vritzler (Sunderland centre forward) managed to connect with the cross but Ayanfe palmed it away from the post.

The referee blew his whistle and pointed at the corner flag.

The corner was brief and short. A cross was played into the Middlesbrough penalty box. Ekon easily rose highest and headed the ball away from the goal post.

The ball landed on David's feet. The midfielder dribbled his way around a sea of Sunderland payers before playing a through ball to the left. Omari and the left back chased after the ball, Omari getting there inches ahead of him. He cut back into the box, creating space for his shot and placed it at the bottom corner.

Curler. (How many of you completely forgot about this skill)

Omari watched as his shot bent past the dive of the Sunderland goalkeeper and sank into the goal post.

'And it's Omari Hutchingson again! What a goal by the young man. It hasn't been up to twenty minutes since he's come on but what an impact he has been. Came on, won a penalty, scored a penalty, and now he's scored again. It just shows how much quality that he brings to the team'

'Absolutely Tim, I think that the manager would be absolutely pleased with the impact that he has made since coming on. Middlesbrough have really looked like a threat in attack this second half'

'The first half, they looked more like a blunt knife trying to plunge itself into the bark of a tree but now, they're like a sharp knife cutting through butter'

Instead off celebrating Omari's goal, Jurg watched on with an expressionless expression. Michael was shocked at Jurg's reaction. He didn't realize that the vendetta between him and Omari was that much.

Jurg meanwhile, was thinking something entirely different in his mind.

Come on kid, just one more goal. If you score one more then you're going pro this year, it's guaranteed!

Contrary to what Michael thought, Jurg actually liked Omari as a player. It wouldn't be too much of an overstatement to say that Omari was his favorite player out of all the talents that he had coached so far.

In his mind, Omari's situation was quite similar to Chris's situation. Chris's father wanted him to stop playing football and Chris agreed without a fight. Omari's father wanted him to stop playing football but Omari fought for his dream. It was as simple as that, one was a pussy and one was not.

The referee blew his whistle to signify the resumption of the match. The morale of the Sunderland players took a severe turn for the worse after the second goal. It was like they didn't even see the point of playing anymore. They attacked half heartedly, they defended half heartedly, they did everything half heatedly.

81'

As a result of their half hearted performance, Middlesbrough pulled a third goal back. It was a beautifully executed counterattack from Middlesbrough. Jack got the ball from the right hand side and went on a solo run before sending a low cross into the ball.

Joshua got hold of the ball and played a pass to Omari. Half the defense focused their attention on Omari assuming that he was going to shoot, as a result of this, they were caught off guard by what he did next.

His first touch was a backheel pass to David who was making a run into the box. David didn't need anyone to tell him what to do with the loose ball. He immediately slot his shot into the bottom corner of the goalpost.

'Goooaaaallll! David Arkenberg with Middlesbrough's third goal of the night and his first goal in the under eighteens. Nice unselfish pass from Hutchingson, Arkenberg was sprinting into the box and he made no mistake putting away the shot. Middlesbrough are up one nil'

'Excellent counter attack from Middlesbrough. You were just going on about the pass from Omari but I'd rather say that it was the solo dribbling from Jack for me. Taking the ball all the way from his side of the pitch to the final third of the other half. The pass to Joshua who I think would've done better to slot the shot home one time but it all turned out well in the end. Good goal from Middlesbrough'

82'

Barely a minute passed before Middlesbrough scored their fourth goal of the game. Another poor buildup from Sunderland led to Omari stealing the ball from a Sunderland midfielder.

He went on a solo run all the way to the edge of the penalty box and teased a shot with his left leg. The defenders unfortunately, didn't know that he was only 'joking' with the attempt. So while the defenders made a tackle to block his shot, he cut back to his right leg, dribbled forward and set himself up for a one on one with the keeper.

The keeper left the post to try and narrow down the angle between himself and Omari. Omari smirked seeing the keeper's attempt to save his shot. In the end, he didn't settle for putting a lot of power into the shot. He calmly chipped his shot over the keeper.

Now he's done it!
