It was a crispy cold Saturday night and the stakes for the game were high. The score of the game was two for my team (JFV Westpfalz) and two for Westrich (my teams rival).

As the aid and my trainer were inspecting him, I looked over at the other team.

The whistle blew and I ran up to the ball kicking it into the right upper ninety. The goalie missed the ball and It soared into the goal. The field erupted with yelling and cheering as I scored the goal. It was the first time in fifteen years that Westpfalz beat their rival
