After receiving the ball, Marcus Rashford advanced about three meters with the ball, cleverly got rid of the entanglement of Abdoulaye Doucoure, a Watford player who was defending, and passed the ball back to Bruno Fernandes near the center circle.

The moment Bruno Fernandes received the ball, he did not hesitate at all, his bodySlightly to the side, his right foot popped out like a spring, and a precise right-side pass, like a sharp lightning, instantly cut through the air of the stadium. The football spun at high speed and flew towards Nico Williams.

Nico Williams was like a cheetah, his eyes fixed on the flying football. He bent his legs slightly, leaned forward, and prepared to catch the ball. When the football fell to his feet, he seemed to be integrated with the ball. His feet were like a smart brush, and with a light touch, he controlled the ball steadily under his feet. After Nico Williams received the ball, he did not give his opponent any breathing space. He was like a cannonball, started instantly, and rushed towards the Watford team's half with his excellent speed and skills. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he instantly broke through the defense of Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue.

Nico Williams ran with the ball all the way, his speed was amazing. His feet seemed to be full of wind, and every step was full of strength and determination. He flashed through Old Trafford like a flash of lightning, exciting the Manchester United fans in the stands. They waved flags, shouted Nico Williams' name, and cheered for him. Watford defenders Craig Cathcart and Christian Kabasele saw Nico Williams' breakthrough and immediately stepped forward to block him. They were like two solid walls, trying to block Nico Williams' way forward.

However, Nico Williams was not afraid. He swayed his body flexibly, and his movements were as graceful and powerful as dancing. He sometimes went left and sometimes went right, leaving Craig Cathcart and Christian Kabasele confused. Suddenly, he first passed Craig Cathcart with a fake move that seemed to be a pass, and then accelerated to avoid Christian Kabasele's defense and continued to move towards the goal.

He lowered his head slightly, adjusted his breathing, and also adjusted the football under his feet. The black and white sphere seemed to carry the hope of the entire Manchester United team at this moment, and also carried the expectations of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford.

Nico Williams gently fiddled with the football with his right foot, feeling its weight and elasticity. Countless ways and angles of shooting flashed through his mind, but in the end, he decided to choose the most direct and powerful way - a powerful volley. He stepped back a few steps, distanced himself from the football, then slightly turned sideways and put the center of gravity of his body on his right foot. His eyes were fixed on the goal of the Watford team.

In that brief moment, time seemed to freeze. Finally, Nico Williams raised his right foot, as if swinging a heavy hammer. His leg muscles were tense, and the power burst out in an instant. He kicked the football hard, and the shot was powerful and heavy, and the football flew towards the goal of the Watford team like a cannonball.

The moment Watford goalkeeper Benjamin Foster saw Nico Williams kick the ball, he reacted immediately. He quickly dove to the right, stretching his body to the extreme in the air; however, Nico Williams's shot was too fast, the speed of the ball was like a meteor. Although Benjamin Foster tried his best to save the ball, he could only watch the ball fly into the goal because the speed of the ball was too fast.
