My First Medal

In my apartment there was a sports meet in the month of November. It was conducted by the apartment association. The first event was the football match. I like football a lot and I gave my name for it. The event took place on a Sunday(9:00AM). Our team was the strongest among all. We had one of the best goal-keeper and strikers in our team. The match started at 9:30AM.
My team won the toss and we chose to start. I was the mid-fielder of my team. The moment we started, we took the ball past our opponents and my friend shot towards the goal and he missed. That was a really good try by him. The next time I got position of the ball went past the opponents by doing some tricks but the moment I shot my teammate came in between and blocked the shot. I felt really bad that moment. Then slowly our opponents started getting into our half and tried scoring. But all their shots were nothing in front of our keeper. After half time we gained some energy and were able to play very well. At last we scored in a penalty. We were lucky to get a penalty because of my shot. I shot the ball towards my opponents face so to protect himself he used his hands when he was inside the box. Then the match was over and we qualified for the finals.

In the finals,
we scored the first goal and that too in 3 minutes. The opponent tried to score about 12 times but they failed because our goal-keeper saved every shot.
Then we scored our second goal in the second half. When all our defenders came into the opponents half one of their strikers were in our half. When I tried to score, the opponents goal-keeper caught the ball and kicked the ball to his team mate who in our half. That was when the opponent scored. After 5 minutes or so the match was over. In extra time we once again scored and won the match.

My team was awarded a medal and a certificate.
