CLANG!!!~
The ball smashed against the crossbar with a thunderous crack, bouncing straight down onto the goal line.
[IT'S OFF THE BAR! IS IT IN?!]
Chaos ensued...
Bodies flew in from all directions, a desperate scramble erupting in the six-yard box. Alvarado dove forward with his arms outstretched, but Badu got there first.
[BADU—!]
He swung his boot—But the shot skidded wide!
[UNBELIEVABLE! HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN?!]
[David, AZ Alkmaar are riding their luck! Udinese have had three golden chances, but they've wasted all three of them!]
Badu buried his face in his hands. The Udinese bench was stunned. Di Natale turned away with his hands on his hips, and frustration written all over his face.
Gertjan Verbeek, on the other hand, clapped his hands and barked orders, rallying his players. They had survived the storm. Now, it was their turn to source an equalizer.
