Second Half Begins – A Sudden Shift
The tension inside Wembley had doubled.
Tottenham, stunned by Bradford's resilience, came out of the tunnel with renewed aggression. Their midfield pressed higher, their wingers stretched the pitch, and Maddison was finally finding pockets of space to dictate play.
Bradford had frustrated them for forty-five minutes, but Spurs weren't waiting anymore.
They were forcing the issue.
Jake stood on the touchline, arms crossed. He expected this. Spurs had been patient in the first half, waiting for a moment of weakness. Now, they were trying to create one.
Bradford had to hold.
48th Minute –
Maddison, sensing the shift in momentum, drifted between the lines and, for the first time all game, found himself unmarked.
He barely needed to look—one touch, one perfectly weighted pass behind Barnes.
Son sprinted onto it.
One-on-one with Okafor.
Jake barely had time to react before Son pulled the trigger.
A low, powerful strike.
