Kayla: Diego, how did your team do in the soccer game on Saturday?
Diego: We won, but just barely. The score was tied until the very last minute.
Kayla: Wow. How did that feel?
Diego: I was on pins and needles the whole second half. I kept looking at the clock.
Kayla: So who scored the last goal?
Diego: Our goalie booted the ball all the way down the field, and Mariana jumped up and headed it into the net. Everybody ran over to hug her.
Kayla: I wish I had been there. Do you play again this weekend?
Diego: Yes, Saturday at nine at Riverside Park. You should come watch.
