Synopsis
With first goal secured, Frano's beautiful passing creates chances but stone's blocking defense prevents scoring. Frano falls behind 1-0 at halftime. Stone provokes Matsuyama: "Your reliance on passes is your weakness." Falling for the provocation, Frano's teamwork deteriorates. Formations collapse, even easy free shots miss. With mutual confidence shaken, the team unravels. After hearing Tsubasa's encouragement, Matsuyama regains focus.
