The greatest loss in the history of our club. After having a 6-2 lead in the first leg, we had our head up extroirdinarily high going into the away game. The crowd was electric at our own home stadium, where they hung up huge signs for everyone to watch just outside of the stadium. Then Excelsior scored. Four times. And I was pissed. But then, by some godforsaken miracle, a player who has scored once before in his entire carreer, a midfielder who hasn't had a goal for NAC Bredai in the 2 years he played for us, shot and scored. It wasn't a pretty goal, but it was the most I've ever cheered for one. If we could hold the lead, the one goal lead, the goal that made it 7-6 for us, if we'd hold it, we'd be promoted. The rest is history.
