Gagamaru does a scorpion kick
As the second half starts, Kunigami has the ball and passes to Bachira recognizing that Team V is guarding him more heavily. Bachira passes to Gagamaru, who realizes that he ran too far forward to receive the pass. Improvising, Gagamaru performs a scorpion kick, hoping to score. Just as the ball is about to reach the corner of the net, Zantetsu stops it with a header. Gagamaru is surprised to see Zantetsu play defense.
The ball is stolen from Isagi
Isagi gets the rebound, but seeing that he is 22 meters from the goal, he hesitates from shooting, doubting he can score. Kunigami screams at Isagi to look behind him, finding another player from Team V approach. Upon having the ball stolen, Raichi shouts at Isagi, calling him stupid. As a result, Isagi tries to find out what he's missing. He reflects on his shortcomings in dribbling and not having a great physique to be able to force his way through. Then, Isagi tells himself that doubting himself will lead to nothing. The key to evolving lies within himself, not from others' weapons.

Nagi tells Isagi that he wasted a lot of chances
While Isagi is thinking, Nagi catches up to him, telling Isagi is pretty useless, having wasted several chances. Nagi asks why, unlike all the other teams they've played against, Team Z is still fighting. Nagi asking if Team Z is stupid, believing they can win; he doesn't understand how unskilled players, like Isagi, did not quit football a long time ago. He asks Isagi what is making him push himself so hard. Angered by Nagi's insults, Isagi tells him to shut up as he breaks through Nagi's defense. Meanwhile, Reo yells at Nagi to counter, but he is being held back by Raichi. Reo asks if Raichi is stalker, and Raichi tells Reo that he is going to devour him.
Outside the match, Anri and Ego are watching the match between Team Z and Team V on a screen. Upon Anri telling Ego that the match is really heated, Ego responds that a striker's ego can only be born during the most extreme and harsh conditions. During this, the striker is challenged to go beyond his limits to overcome the obstacles in front of him. Ego then remarks that, according to his observation, a great striker should be able to constantly evolve.
