In Their Own Story
The air at Wembley was thick with tension, a physical weight pressing down on the pitch. Ninety minutes had passed, and the scoreboard read 1-1, leaving two titans locked in stalemate. Lou Macari found space in the box, a fleeting moment of clarity amidst the chaos. The ball struck his boot, arcing past the keeper, and silence fell for a heartbeat before the stadium erupted.
