Furthermore, just before the end of the first half, he responded well to the ball that the opposing defender had cleared, and fired a volley shot from outside the penalty area, but was once again blocked by the goalkeeper's good defense.

Although they work with their allies, they are not able to create a chance for scoring. Although they were at a disadvantage in the second half, they were on the pitch until the end, making a significant contribution to the team who ended the final home game with a victory.
