On the final day of the camp, Seiseki is playing against Seikan High School.

Right off the bat, Taira's bullet-like pass is caught by the super rookie, Himura, and the ball ends in Seiseki's goal. However, thanks to Usui raising the line, it's offside and the goal doesn't count. Kazama pays it back in kind and gets up to the opponent's goal, but this also doesn't end in a goal. Meanwhile, Ooshiba and Kimishita are struggling with the oppoent's defense...

Right as the match was about to end, Tsukushi puts everything into his shot and secures the victory for Seiseki with that goal.

Tsukushi can't quite grasp what just happened, but when Kazama and the others jump on him to celebrate, tears of happiness run down his face.

Meanwhile, Kazama's mother, who had come to see the match, quietly tries to leave.

Kazama takes Tsukushi's hand and introduces him as his amazing friend.

Summer vacation is over, and the preliminaries for the championship in the Tokyo area begins.

For the third-years, it's the very last tournament. Seiseki steadily advances through the preliminaries, and the next opponent is Hokutou High School.

It looks as if they're off to a good start with taking the lead, but due to rough attacks from the opposing team, Ooshiba gets injured.

Mizuki protects Kimishita from the same fate but is dealt his second yellow card and Seiseki loses two key players for their next match.

Due to Nitobe's red card, Seiseki is down to 10 players.

To make matters even worse, Keiou's top two players, Kai and Maruoka put pressure on Seiseki's goal.

Somehow, with Usui's defense and Inohara's super save, they survive the first half, but right after the start of the second half, Keiou's intense attacks lead to the score being tied after all.

Thanks to Usui's set up, Tsukushi is able to wrangle the second free kick from Keiou.

Just like the first time, Kimishita takes the shot, but this time it's a low flying ground shot!

Even though Keiou's goalie reacts, the shot knocks his hand away and the ball is in the net. After causing the upset, Seiseki commits to defense, but Keiou's attacks are relentless. And in the final 3 minutes, just as Usui is about to clear the ball, something unforeseen happens...
