Goal.
The game's rudimentary physics engine calculated the parabola. The ball arced over the keeper's pixelated fingers. It bounced once. It rolled toward the goal line. The phone's vibration motor hummed.
Time froze.
The screen flashed "3-2." Rahul bit his pillow to stop from screaming. He saved the replay—all 12 frames of it.
One minute left. Score is 2-2.
