In the second half, Kiyokawa and the rest of the team try to get the better of the refs, but they can't. The refs are favoring the visiting team too much, and they're starting to lose confidence in their own abilities. They're going to have to play fast and loose if they want to keep the game alive. The only thing they can do is make sure that Tsubaki doesn't get hurt, and that they don't let Hiroshiguchi get too far ahead of them.
