Episode 1: Son Penaltı

Penaltılarda her şey yedek kaleci Zeynep'e kalıyor.

The final ends 1–1: penalties.

Bozkır Spor, bölge finali. 1-1. Seri penaltılar.

Coach Aysel sends Zeynep into goal.

Aysel Hoca: Zeynep, kaleye sen geçiyorsun.

Zeynep: Ben mi, hocam? Hiç final oynamadım!

Captain Derya encourages her.

Derya: Antrenmanda her şutu kurtardın. Her birini.

Zeynep remembers her notebook.

Zeynep: Dokuz numara, heyecanlanınca hep sola vurur.

Four–four. One penalty left.

4-4. Zeynep bunu kurtarırsa kupa Bozkır'ın.

Zeynep breathes and reads the striker.

Zeynep: Nefes al. Kalçasına bak.

The kick, and the dive to the left.

TOK!

She holds the ball; Derya screams.

Derya: KURTARDI! KURTARDI!

The team piles on; the coach cries with joy.

Aysel Hoca: İşte benim kalecim!

Later, on the empty pitch, with the cup.

Zeynep: Çok korkmuştum.

Derya: Zaten o yüzden değerli.

Bazen en sessiz oyuncu en büyük kurtarışı yapar.
