Last Soccer Game

We played a soccer game 3 weeks and we lost by 19 points. The score was 1 – 20 to the other team. We only had 9 players as some people were on holidays. I scored the only goal and this is how it happened.

I was dribbling the ball up the pitch but had accidently knocked the ball a bit too far from myself. The guy in front of me had it and he was the last player in defence for the other team. He then tried to pass the ball to a team mate but it wasn’t a good pass and I intercepted thanks to the pressure I had put on the player to make a mistake. I was then one on one with the goalie on a very tight angle. About 4 metres from the goal line when I shot. The goalie was advancing towards me so I shot with my left foot hoping for the best. As you may know, I don’t kick with my left leg. I shot and it went over the goalie’s head, bounces off the inside of the far post and bounced in. I would have to say that has to be one of my best goal of the year so far.

    WOW Caleb, what attention to detail.
    I was there to see that goal you have described………..fantastic.
    I didn’t realise you had kicked it with your left foot.
    Maybe you will be a sports commentator one day.
    Keep up the efforts you put into your soccer Caleb……….Love Gran
