As it was, there were down to the last couple minutes of play and things had gotten more intense on the pitch. It seemed like the players were pushing past their own limit to make the last bit of time count. It was thrilling to see. It felt like the ball was changing direction with each tick of the clock, both teams determined to keep the other out of their zone as the time dwindled down.
