Kick Off

Alia's POV

"Today is the day! Manchester City and Liverpool F.C . What a beautiful Sunday afternoon it is. What an incredible crowd. What an amazing atmosphere. Liverpool fans are full up at here at Etihad Stadium in bright red. Let's just hope the support of these dedicated fans fuel the fire burning in the Liverpool team, edging them to win this match; to be 9 points clear; and to be presented as the Premier League Winners this season at last.
I'm Peter Drury, and I'm joined today by Matt Holland for this game's commentary."

The supporters are screaming, and cheering, and singing their hearts out as the players make their way onto the field. We got such great seats here- front row, a clear view of Pep and Klopp (the coaches of each team) and a great view of the ground itself. We sit right next to the change room entrance and when Eliott walks pass, Jaz and I make sure we scream louder for him. He's smiling to himself so he most probably heard us yelling. I mean, it would be difficult to not hear us...

The kick off is in play and Eliott is in a midfielding position. Come on, El. Salah has the ball and is sprinting to the goal posts. He passes it to Mané, Mané to Hart, Hart crosses the ball to Firmino and.... GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!

-"YEAAAHHH, GO HART!!" Jazmin cheers. Eliott and Firmino hug each other and others shortly pile up on them, while Liverpool Fans are losing their heads!

3 - 4
The score is 3 - 4. Liverpool's in the lead, though still. There's 12 minutes left in the game. The supporters haven't died down a bit. They're still singing their little anthems and holding up their homemade signs. The match has been absolutely exhilarating.
We scored first, right. Then Liverpool scored again. City managed to get a goal in as well. Soon after that it was halftime. And when they came back on the field City scored 2 more goals! But luckily Mané scored a quick goal from a corner, and Salah scored a penalty. And just as I was catching you guys up with the scores...

"Manchester City has done it again! They've scored! This is absolutely incredible! Raheem Sterling to the rescue, as always. Great goal."

NOoOoOOooo!!!!

I can see that Eliott's under pressure now. Klopp is screaming who knows what at the players and the audience of the City fans are all ralleyed up.

The ball is in play again, there's 89 minutes on the clock. There should be about 3 minutes of added time though, taking into consideration the 'penalty issue'.

I see the linesman hold up the board. "4 added minutes". Good enough.

Salah goes forward and the City defenders are on his tail. Going into added time, De Bruyne gets possession of the ball and runs in the opposite direction, towards Allison. But De Bruyne comes head-to-head with Eliott and loses the ball. Eliott is on the run with a counter attack and passes it up front to Firmino again. 2 minutes to go. Firmino slips and the ball is rolling away, but Mané is quick enough to get it back, but he's cornered. "Hart!" Mané calls out, crossing the ball over to El. Come on, El. Come on. Do it, Hart. One minute.
Hart's in the box already, recieving the ball, but clashes with the keeper. The ball flies back up and falls down only for Eliott to hit it back up and on the volley, into the nets!!

"YEAHHHHH!!! WOOHOOOO!!! ELIOOOOOTT! GREAT JOB, MATE!" I scream as he does his little celebratory dance. He makes eye contact with us and sends us a wink and a heart-shaped sign with his fingers. Jazmin is going crazy by the way. I'm surprised she's not jumping over the stands and running across the ground to him though. Ha! Good one, Alia!

"It's a miracle! What a finish to both the goal and the match. All thanks to Hart. Great control of the ball. Outstanding balance and aim. 4-5. Liverpool has made it. A beautiful way to end the match, and end the season. We were your commentators, Good night and have a lovely week."
