Synopsis

Shuztetsu's attack, led by Kise, Izawa, and Takasugi, bears down on Nankatsu's goal, but Tsubasa's superb defense shuts down every assault. Yet Nankatsu's offense relies on just one pattern: Tsubasa intercepts and passes to Ishizaki. Seeing through this, Wakabayashi fires a long shot at Tsubasa! 'Come on, attack me!' 'Is this... a challenge from Wakabayashi!?' Hearing his father's voice from the stands, Tsubasa charges forward with determination. His powerful shot is deflected by Wakabayashi, resulting in a corner kick. The curved ball nearly finds the net, but just misses. So the first half ends 0-0. As various thoughts swirl, the question remains: who will score first in the second half?
