Eddie loves playing football, but his coach is always criticising him and the rest of the team don't give him any support. What's worse, his older brother, Matthew, is the best player in the school. But when Matthew falls ill, the team need a striker to step in at the last moment. At last, this is Eddie's chance to prove himself. Will he be able to live up to the challenge?
