The last echoes of the crowd's roar dissolve into the crisp autumn air. Long shadows stretch across the empty pitch, and the sharp scent of cut grass and cold sweat lingers. You try to melt into the dispersing stream of blue-and-gold supporters, but a tall, solid presence materializes directly in your path.
