The tension inside the stadium was almost unbearable. RKC Waalwijk had come so close, but now they had to regroup.
The game restarted with Alvarado launching a long ball upfield, looking to relieve the pressure.
Henriksen challenged for it, nodding it down toward Elm, who quickly played it out wide to Benjamin.
[Here we go again,] Mike said. [Benjamin's been lively in this second half]
The young winger let the ball run in front of him before turning on the jets. His marker tried to stay with him, but Benjamin had too much pace, knocking it forward and sprinting past.
[That's electric speed!] the co-commentator exclaimed.
Benjamin drove toward the 18 yard box, defenders scrambling to cut him off. He glanced up—Altidore was making a late run.
He made a sharp cut inside and a defender lunged—
But Benjamin skipped past him with a quick flick of his boot.
[He's dancing through them!]
The crowd roared as he shaped to shoot—Then squared it at the last second!
