The final whistle blew shortly after Rotimi's winning goal, sealing the blue team's comeback and victory. Their win was now carved in stone!
Sweat-drenched and grinning, Rotimi and Jesse trudged off the green field, heading for the stands, while the rest of the team went their seperate ways after a brief conversation.
As they went up the stands, Jesse's eyes scanned the sitting crowd in search for Bayo, but he was nowhere in sight. The two sat down and Jesse immediately took out his pre-packed bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Rotimi who still breathless from the game, clapped him on the back in thanks.
It was no surprise. After all, Rotimi had led and inspired them, played his heart out, orchestrated their comeback, and ran tirelessly all over the pitch to ensure the team got the win. He had really gone above and beyond, and gave the game his all.
