Minute 7 – Tactical escalation between Joan and the rival coach. The stadium was heated.
Dusk Talons tried to reorganize. Their captain barked commands, but the system had already predicted their pressing patterns. Mila and Elian countered with synchronized interceptions. Mila's Shadow Strike glimmered—a subtle step unseen by eyes, disarming the midfielder's movement and reclaiming possession.
[Hidden Thread Detected: Shadow Displacement +2% Efficiency]
Joan observed, subtly adjusting the Chaos Eclipse formation in real time. The squad reacted instinctively, now dancing on threads of probability.
Minute 15 – Eclipse Shadows were all over the place. Bullying the Dusk Talons from every blade of grass. Angles or edges of the pitch.
Korrik, normally a defensive force, executed a rare forward surge, exploiting a flawed left-side gap. He passed to Draeven, who unleashed the Flare Shot, curling over the keeper into the upper corner: 2-0. Dusk Talons' midfielder froze mid-step, stunned by both the speed and precision—an error the system cataloged immediately.
[Player Morale Spike: Eclipse Shadows +3%]
[Rival Error Recorded: Dusk Talons Midfielder – Panic Probability +5%]
Minute 22 – Joan introduced the dual offensive tactic. The rival coach has no response chose the wait and see. A grave mistake.
Lyra and Kai executed a twin-dribble feint down the midfield. Nia, ghosting along the left, intercepted a deflection and threaded a near-impossible pass to Orion. The aerial predator rose—mirrored by Sylas, splitting the defensive focus—and slammed a header: 3-0.
The scoreboard flashed, rival players faltered, and Joan's system reported:
[Victory Probability: 68%]
[Team Synergy Spike: +9%]
[Hidden Threads Detected: Twin Attack Amplifier Active]
The Dusk Talons' coach slammed the board, realization dawning that Eclipse Shadows were performing on a level beyond human planning.
Minute 30 – Joan noticed her team performing well but the synergy were missing. The glue to bond her players were missing. It was time for a change in tactics. Tactical Substitutions Initiated.
Joan triggered subtle changes. Changes were made.
Veyra → Spiritual Reinforcement: enhanced midfield morale and shadow synchronization.
Fenris → Defensive Restructuring: stabilized the rear against counterattacks.
Tovan → Utility Rotation: placed at RM to combine with Kai for lateral overloads.
[Substitution Synergy Boost: +4%]
[Hidden Threads Enhanced: Chaos Eclipse Formation Adapted]
Her changes were not well met. The audience were lost. Why change players that are good? Pundits spike. Commentators have a broken dam of words. Expect running amok. All had one thought! What was Joan's problem? Was she experiencing her month's circles? Or was she having a phobia of mass goals?
Minute 38 – Half-Time. Her change balanced and stabilised the game. Her rival had next to nothing opportunity to make any impact. Everyone was quiet. They understood her now. This was a terrific coach.
Orion, Sylas, and Draeven combined in a series of rapid exchanges. Sylas executed the "Twin Trickster" mirroring, Draeven unleashed a Flare Shot from 30 meters, and Orion's aerial strike forced the keeper into a collision with his own defender. 4-0.
Dusk Talons' captain was visibly shaken. Morale was crumbling:
[Rival Panic Probability: +12%]
[Rival Cohesion: 62% → 45%]
Half-time. Players gathered in a circle, faces glistening, breaths measured yet charged. She activated Faith Mode: subtle pulses of Obsidian energy flowing through the squad.
"Observe," she whispered. "They will falter. We don't just attack; we distort probability. Every error they make is a gift of our belief. Let them crumble before your unity."
The squad absorbed the moment, drinking in the system's data feeds and tactical pulses.
Joan made an entire Half-Time Adjustments – Tactical Breakdown. The loopholes were patched, cemented and sealed. She had the help of her talent and her system.
Joan reviewed analytics on the HUD.
Dusk Talons Weak Points: Left flank under Juno's pressure, central midfield panic susceptibility, goalkeeper misjudging aerial threats.
Eclipse Shadows Strengths: Twin synergy, Shadow Displacement, Flare Shot efficiency, Reaction time.
She deployed tactical adjustments she made and observe in her simulation mind scape.
Attack Bias: Forward threads increased 5%.
Defensive Weave: Anticipatory positioning enhanced for Rook and Darius.
Probability Focus: Midfield loops for Kai-Lyra and Mila-Elian enhanced.
Multiplier: Activated for bench, raising reaction potential.
[OM Investment: +50]
[System Readiness: 97% for second half]
She made the investment and tactics change.
Minute 46 – Second Half Commenced.
Kickoff barely settled when Juno launched a right-wing blitz. The left-back of Dusk Talons attempted interception, misjudged his shadow displacement, and Korrik stole the ball: 5-0.
The crowd barely believed it. Joan's eyes glimmered: Feedbacks surged:
[Faith Surge: +8%]
[Rival Panic Multiplier: Active]
Minute 52 – Her team have a full tactical mastery of her game philosophy.
Veyra and Sorin manipulated midfield loops with near-perfect shadow coordination. Draeven flicked a pass to Orion, who feinted past the center-back and delivered a chest-control header to Sylas. The twin mirroring caused mass confusion: 6-0.
Joan noted: rival morale had dropped to 31%.
Minute 59 – Eclipse Shadows rampage and rival's disgrace escalated.
Dusk Talons attempted an offside trap. Kai and Lyra, exploiting the Chaos Eclipse's micro-threaded readjustments, executed a twin feint. Orion intercepted the attempted clearing pass and scored a devastating solo run: 7-0.
[Rival Confidence: 19%]
[Hidden Threads: Offensive Cascade +3%]
The stadium fell into a mix of awe and disbelief. Reports of their own players' misalignment spread panic: one defender, visibly shaking, collided with the goalkeeper for a self-own goal in the 62nd minute: 8-0.
Minute 65 – And then Joan initiated the tactical substitutions second wave. Her change was to be a catastrophic... an apocalyptic rampage for her rival.
Joan rotated in...
Eryndor → Blind Sentinel Mode: enhanced defensive prediction.
Halvor → Aggressive Midfield Pressure: maximized probability misalignment for rival.
Rhea → Trickster Enhancement: boosted synergy with Kallus, targeting overloaded flank.
[System Adaptive Feedback: +6% Efficiency]
[Hidden Threads: Twin Trickster Chains Activated]
Minute 70 – There're spikes and avalanche of goals.
Through a combination of twin synergy, probability nudges, and shadow displacement, Eclipse Shadows executed a series of near-impossible sequences.
70' Sylas → Orion → Draeven: 9-0
72' Rhea → Kallus → Kai → Lyra: 10-0
75' Orion solo dash exploiting misaligned defensive line: 11-0
The Dusk Talons' coach was shouting, but the system had already preempted his instructions. Every panic-triggered move was cataloged and countered.
Minute 80 – Joan's fans were in full frenzy.
The crowd's energy surged as Eclipse Shadows' final movements became almost ritualistic. Nia intercepted a desperate clearance and threaded to Orion, Sylas mirrored the angle, and Draeven executed a Flare Shot from impossible distance: 12-0.
Joan's Obsidian Marks pulsed a deep purple:
[Hidden Thread Unlock: Absolute Dominance +2%]
[Morale Maxed: 99%]
Minute 88 – Joan had to seal and close the sequence
Fenris and Tovan combined to pressure the goalkeeper directly. An attempt at clearance fell short; Sylas's aerial prediction allowed Orion to head the ball home: 13-0.
The Dusk Talons' team was in total disarray. Their captain, usually a pillar of leadership, sat slumped in disbelief. The scoreboard was a testament to Eclipse Shadows' faith, synergy, and the subtle, system-enhanced orchestration that Joan had cultivated.
Minute 90+3 – Full-Time.
The final whistle blew. The stadium erupted, fans chanting, OM surging, players collapsing yet exhilarated. The entire realm was silence. This was a genius coach. The trait of being a genius have not left her. Forget her broken X-grade talent crap! She was rewriting her destiny. Dawn was upon everyone.
Then the system reported:
[Victory.

Joan allowed herself a rare smile. The rival was humiliated, the squad bonded, and the system had whispered every moment of victory into existence.
She turned to the players, her voice carrying over the pulsing energy:
"Faith, loyalty, and shadows. Today, you showed the world what Eclipse Shadows can do. Remember this—not just the goals, not just the scoreboard—but the unity, the timing, the belief. That is how legends are forged."
The players erupted, a mixture of elation and exhaustion, knowing they had been part of a landslide, a total obliteration of expectation, orchestrated by skill, belief, and the subtle machinery of Joan's unseen system.
And somewhere deep in the matrix, the threads of future victories began to weave themselves, already predicting the next stage of the Shadows' dominance.
