Summarizing The Blue Lock vs. U-20 Match

The first half of the Blue Lock vs. U-20 match started with the fans inclined towards the U-20 team as the prodigy midfielder, Sae Itoshi was playing for them. However, Seishiro Nagi shifts the spectrum by scoring a spectacular goal.

It was not long before Sae Itoshi workshis magic and scores an equaliser. Both teams were desparate as the losing team would have to give up their careers. The pressure led to the first half ending with Rin Itoshi scoring another goal and Blue Lock leading with 1 goal.

In the half time, the U-20 team is shocked to know that Sae is leaving as he believed that the team was not cut out to win. However, his plan changes with the "Devil" stepping in, Shidou Ryusei. Blue Lock strengthens its guard as the "Devil" makes his mark with 2 goals within the first 25 minutes of the second half.

Ego trusts Reo Mikage to stop Shidou and he succeeds. However, as the game goes on Isagi gets desperate and gets Ego to play hand to which even he could not predict the results too. Barou Shouei makes an entrance and proves himself by scoring the third goal, using his natural insticts.

The match gets really exciting as Rin was about to accept defeat against his brother, but Isagi helps him get back into the game. Rin is disgusted by the feeling of Isagi not letting him lose and finds his "flow." The players and the audience is shocked by Rin's awakening as he devours the defense wall of the U-20. And the final match up begins, Rin Itoshi vs Sae itoshi.

As the game gets into additional time, Rin emerges victorious in the one-on-one and the loose ball kicked into the air, lands into Isagi's range, where he scores the winning goal. Against all odds, Sae Itoshi loses to his brothers team. However, players like Oliver Aiku and Shidou Ryusei showed remarkable performances.
