100 word challenge The match By James

It was the last kick. They had to get this. How could they not? Extra time was up, Stone had got a penalty and Beage clubs goalie was injured so a winger had to step in. The reserve goalie had a hole in his shirt branded with the team logo, a bright sun-yellow flower, as he stepped onto the pitch, boos came in all directions; no sign of any support from his team.

Garry put the ball in position then ran back, ready to score for Stone. I held my breath, heart in mouth as the world seemed to still.

    Good use of short dramatic sentences to immediately build up tension. Also,the ending really effectively made the action slow down in my head as I read it, as if in slow motion.
    Perhaps the sentences between these section would be further improved by not only beginning with the subject.
