The scrimmage pressed on with both teams probing for weaknesses, and searching for that one breakthrough.
Martens, ever the composed playmaker, dictated the tempo for the red team, using quick one-twos with Overtoom to navigate through the midfield.
Gorter and Lam provided a solid base, recycling possession when needed, ensuring the red team maintained control.
But the blue team was relentless in their press.
Berghuis tracked Martens closely, cutting off his passing lanes, forcing him to play backward more than he wanted.
Altidore and Henriksen positioned themselves smartly, keeping pressure on the red team's defenders, ensuring no easy outlet passes.
Benjamin, meanwhile, drifted in and out of pockets of space, reading the flow of the game. His eyes stayed locked on Gudmundsson, watching for any misstep or any moment of hesitation.
And then it came.
Gudmundsson received a pass from Overtoom and tried to turn under pressure. But Benjamin was already closing in.
