12th December was an absolute blast of a day, and probably the best Saturday in my life till date. On the frosty morning of 12th December, we entered the grounds of Ansal University, where we were just about to play a football tournament by the name of Adidas Uprising. We got a walkover in our first match, which provided us a free ticket to the pre-quarters. After an hour of anticipation, it was our match, and a great one. We ripped the other team to shreds with an annihilating 8-2 victory. In the quarters, we edged past 1-0 and were ecstatic that we reached the semi-finals. This would go on to be our toughest game with some brilliant football players as our opponents. But the frigid weather and icy winds didn't stop us in the game. The final was waiting for us after a 2-1 win in which we gave away a last-minute penalty, but God was on our side after their star player missed it. Later, it was the final, the moment of truth. We got a 2-0 lead which stayed with us through the whole game, and I cannot describe in words how I felt at that moment when the referee blew the final whistle. We triumphed in the U-12 Adidas Uprising cup. I was on cloud nine after lifting the glistening trophy and wearing the medal, but over the moon after receiving the award for player of the tournament. Our goalkeeper also hot handed the prestigious prize of Golden Glove. Our staggering teamwork and stupendous effort had led us to this.My, what a brilliant day had just passed by.
