Genzo proclaims to Tsubasa that if he manages to defeat his B team, he'll accept Tsubasa's challenge. Much to Ryo's chagrin, Tsubasa accepts the challenge.

Taking the initiative, the drunkard discards his whiskey and takes the ball. This makes Mikami realize the man's true identity as former pro-soccer player Roberto Hongo. Thanks to Roberto's kick and Tsubasa's headbutt, the ball lands inside the goal. In the process of it, however, Genzo's head slams into the right side of the goal post.
