[OPENING SHOT – BLACK SCREEN]
Soft ambient music begins to swell—slow piano chords, low hum of atmosphere. Then—

"From Lagos to the League"
[CUT TO]
A close-up of Emeka mid-save—eyes locked, mouth open, stretch full, grit in every muscle.
[QUICK CUT]
A sequence of action shots:
Emeka barking instructions at his backline, finger raised.
A wide shot of him punching the ball clear under floodlights.
Emeka rising high above a cluster of bodies to claim a corner.
Each moment flows with intensity but no commentary—just the beat of breath and heartbeat woven into the score.
