By a combination of passing and dribbling, the opponents gave a shot into our goal. Fortunately, our goalie could catch the ball. All the stands seemed to be exploded with merry and exciting shouts. And all the schoolboys and girls jumped up and down cheering. In the second half, both teams played beautifully and skillfully and tried to score the goal, but no-one succeeded.
