Score: EOS 6 - 9 World 11
The match resumed.
EOS had possession.
And this time—Yuto Kisaragi, Kazuki Shindo, and Reiji Sakamoto were on the move.
Their earlier struggles had pushed them to evolve.
Now, they were flowing together like a unit.
A dynamic, unpredictable movement.
They weren't just passing.
They were guiding the ball toward the goal, shifting the defense, forcing gaps.
Their combined rhythm was finally taking shape.
But then—
_
A sudden breakthrough.
**Kaiser Eberhart—**out of nowhere.
Even with Tetsuya Aikawa permanently marking him,
It didn't matter.
With a single touch, Kaiser slipped through the trio.
Aikawa lunged—desperate to stop him.
But Kaiser had already seen it.
Already anticipated it.
Already won before Aikawa even reacted.
With a flawless touch, he sent the ball loose—
And in a split second, Leonel Castillo was there.
Leonel Castillo – The Architect
The moment the ball reached Castillo, EOS froze.
They knew what was coming.
They had seen it before.
But stopping it was a different story.
With one single pass—
EOS's entire defensive line was broken.
A perfect vertical pass—threading through gaps no one else could see.
And the one receiving it was—
Adrian DeLuca.
Adrian DeLuca – The Celestial Phantom
Renji and Mori had already moved.
They weren't going to let him pass.
But that was exactly what DeLuca wanted.
He welcomed them in—
Then, with a sudden shift in movement—
He was gone.
Renji lunged.
Mori reacted.
But it was already too late.
DeLuca's insane dribbling had already broken past them.
A movement so smooth and fluid that it felt surreal.
And then—
He took the shot.
A stunning strike—
Lightning-fast.
Perfect placement.
But—
Takuma Ogawa, EOS's #1 Goalkeeper, reacted.
A full-stretch dive—just barely reaching the ball.
The shot was stopped—
But the impact sent the ball soaring high into the air.
And immediately—three players moved.
Kaiser Eberhart.Yuto Kisaragi.Tetsuya Aikawa.
Each one racing to claim it.
But—
There was one player faster than them all.
Kylien Marcel.
The Lightning Storm of France.
With blinding speed, he reached the ball first—
And without hesitation—
A devastating direct shot.
A strike so powerful—so impactful—
That the entire stadium shook.
