Penalty

He stood and looked at the goal. It somehow looked smaller than usual and the goalkeeper suddenly looked like a giant.
He placed the ball on the spot and took five paces backwards.
The crowd roared louder and louder. The ground began to shake.
A crack appeared across the pitch in front of him. It widened and the goalkeeper, unable to react quickly enough, fell into it, screaming. His scream became quieter.
He looked at the referee who shrugged and blew his whistle.
He chipped the ball easily into the empty goal.
