Yellow Team versus Red Team

By Marwan

It was my team versus Michael’s team. It was Tuesday afternoon and we were having a soccer match. Jawad, Daniel, Aya, Rami, Karim, and Yousef were with me.

The match started with a center. They came close to the goal. I was a defender. I was thinking to myself, “Oh my gosh, maybe they’re going to score!” I was really nervous, I didn’t want to lose. So my decision was to slide tackle Michael. It was a good tackle. I got the ball and it went out.

They had a throw in. He threw the ball in and I was still nervous because it was close to the goal. Jawad was like a hero. As Michael threw the ball in, he ran in front of the person waiting and got the ball. He ran with the ball. Joseph was goalie. He was like a giant in front of the goal! Jawad went with the ball and tricked Joseph. Joseph sat on his bottom to try and save the ball but Jawad shot it to the side. It touched the post and went into the goal.

We were all cheering for him and I went and hugged him.
