An Impossible Recovery

Synopsis

In the second half, Japan brings in Wakabayashi for Wakashimazu. To defeat Schneider who reads goalkeeper movements and adjusts his shot trajectory, Wakabayashi closes his eyes and listens to the ball's sound—an astonishing tactic that works! "Now it's our turn to answer Wakabayashi's determination!" As they say, Tsubasa tries a diving overhead kick from Misaki's pass, but Schneider blocks it. However, the loose ball allows Tsubasa and Hyuga to unleash a twin shot and score! Near match's end, Misaki and Hyuga chain overhead passes and Tsubasa himself scores with an overhead kick. Against the world's strongest team, Japan achieves a miraculous draw victory.
