"Deep into the second half, and it's still a hit to none to the Americans. They're still pressing, seeking that cushion of a second hit. The Nigerians aren't giving up, they've had their chances, but fluffed them. Stats still favour the Americans, right Andy?"

"Yeah, I think we'll see a second soon enough."

"The flank units are engaged on the right. Kelechi Oshonaike's side have ditched the trench and they're defending now by herding the Americans into their repeating zones. Valentino is occupying Ndidi in the middle. Ibarguen and Weiss are teaming up on the left of the Nigerian defence. Who can hold their nerve better? There's neat interplay between the American units in the heart of the zone."

"Look at Valentino in the middle!"

"Valentino's free and Gina Adams finds him! This could be two... it is! A wonderful team effort, and the USA have their cushion, its two nil!"

"Well, it's just great work from the right flank unit to overload the repeating zone and free up Valentino. Ndidi again tries to snuff out their foray, but there's just too many enemies, and Sally Brooks takes him out with a brilliant shot to the head from twenty five yards. Valentino has all the time in the world to take out the two defenders in his way and score a hit, and the Americans are on their way."
