In the second half of the game, Hiroshi takes advantage of the short corner to attack, but his team's defensive line is too strong for him. He loses Hayashi and sets for a cross, but ichiboshi is still going, and he is wide open. Haibara heads in the header with only a few seconds left in the game. Niiro charges at the center of the defense, but the keeper saves him. They are about to score, but Hiroshi is holding his own, and sends the pass to the side. He tells the other players that he is weighing everyone down, and that aiba is the best player on the team right now. He says that he caused a lot of problems on the defense in the past, and now he has earned himself a spot on the starting line-up. He feels that inohara is in the debt of the whole team, but he says that if one of the two cracks, the other will step it up.
