Haruma, Nagisa, Itsuki and the rest of the Tokyo Wolves instinctively turned to their heels, exploding into a full sprint.
At the back Kabuto and Haru both the defenders kept their eyes locked on the flying ball chasing it relentlessly.
Kabuto's gaze flickered forward only to spot an opposing striker was closing in fast on the ball with a clear path ahead of him.
Clenching his jaw further, Kabuto dropped his head and pushed himself harder, legs pumping hard on the turf as he relentlessly chased that striker.
The ball dropped on the ground bouncing ahead towards the nets. The opposing striker closed in, with Kabuto right on his heels, sliding his legs forward towards the ball in a desperate attempt to reach the ball first. But the opposing striker reached the ball first, nudging the ball forward while giving Kabuto a slight shove.
