Santoso’s Last-Minute Heroics Seal Victory for Houston Over San Antonio
First Quarter:
The start of the UFL game is exciting because players can run back kicks from the 20-yard line. KD Cannon, playing for San Antonio, runs really fast past the middle of the field and gets his team in a good spot past the 30-yard line. San Antonio’s team, with coach AJ Smith, does well throwing the ball. Landon Acres catches a big throw near the 40-yard line. But, when San Antonio was close to scoring, they lost the ball and Glenn Logan from Houston picked it up, stopping their chance to score.
Second Quarter:
Houston’s team has the ball first, but San Antonio’s team is playing really tough defense. Mark Topson, who used to play for the Florida Gators, is stopped close to the goal line, showing how intense the game is. San Antonio’s team keeps up the strong defense, making Houston only score a small kick for points. Even with some good moves, both teams keep losing the ball, leading to not many points scored in the first half.
Third Quarter:
In the third part of the game, both teams are having a hard time getting ahead. Houston’s team is doing really good at stopping the other team, San Antonio, from scoring. They even take the ball away a few times. Then, the Brahmas score a touchdown thanks to John LoveIt, and Cody Ladimer adds three more points, making the game tied.
Fourth Quarter:
The game score is 12-12, and everyone is very tense as both teams try really hard to win. Reggie Roberson from San Antonio does a good job but then makes a mistake, and now Houston has a chance to win. With only a little time left, Ryan Santoso kicks the ball really far, 51 yards, and makes a score that wins the game for Houston.
