34th Minute –
Bradford weren't about to sit back and feel sorry for themselves. They had been hit, but they had no intention of staying down.
From the restart, Vélez played a sharp pass to Rasmussen on the right. The winger wasted no time—his first touch took him past his marker, his second pushed the ball forward into space. The Rapid full-back lunged in, trying to slow him down, but Rasmussen skipped over the challenge, never breaking stride.
Jake was already on his feet, urging him forward.
The Allianz Stadion crowd sensed the danger, a ripple of nervous murmurs sweeping through the stands as Rasmussen drove toward the final third.
He glanced up once—Obi was making his run.
The delivery was inch-perfect. A wicked, looping cross, curling away from the keeper and hanging beautifully at the far post.
Obi wanted it.
