To everybody's horror, Tsukushi's shot hits the goal post. Mizuki and Kimishita still dash forward to go for the rebound, but Saku High clears the ball and the match is over. Everybody is shaken by this, especially Kazama and Tsukushi, who both feel something they've never felt before. Tsukushi does the one thing he can, he runs without giving his body any pause. That's when Ubukata intercepts him and sits him down for a serious talk.

The second half of the Seikan match.

Tsukushi is swapped to replace the injured Kazama.

Meanwhile, on the Seikan bench, the coach and Taira are arguing about the best way to utilize Himura.

Taira insists to have Himura be the sole forward, the coach puts a 10 minute time limit on it.

Himura wants to repay Taira for sticking up for him by scoring elegant goals, and actually brings the score to an even 2:2.
