hard fought match
spilled to extra time,
goals shared even
sudden death ensued
goalkeepers focus is key,
both dived left and right
but ball found net
watching like eagle eye
one lifted ball over cross bars
feat with great intensity,
dead silence broke into applause
Author notes
Goal keepers intense concentration in sudden death ensure victory
