At half-time in the first home game of the season, Victor tries to stop "a trickle of blood from running down his face." In a previous game, he smacked heads with the other team's goalkeeper, and, in the first half of this game—when heading the ball into the net—he opened up the wound. The coach decides that Victor can't play the second half, and so Paul is substituted into the game.
In the second half, Paul's team scores two more goals, and then Paul scores a third. Paul is momentarily stunned. He can't recall ever scoring a goal before. He stands still, "staring at the net," before realizing that the rest of the team is lining up already for kick off. Paul's team scores one more goal, and the final result is "Tangerine 7, Kinnow 3."
After the game, Victor comes back (with stitches in his head), and he high-fives Paul in recognition of Paul's goal. Paul is, understandably, elated.
