Under the screen of light and shadow, Mays awakened Zodi Ebba's desire to score with a precise assist that was as good as a world wave.
As the morning sun dawned on Saturday, the first round of the East Coast first round of the U.S. Professional Schools Playoffs was in full swing, and International Maia Mi defeated Atlanta University League at home by a slim 2-1 margin, knocking on the door of the playoffs first with a two-game winning record. In this battle of honor, Mays once again showed his leadership charisma, not only delivering key assists, but also allowing Zodi Abba's goal to be the turning point that decided the game.
International Maia Meece missed out on a playoff berth last season, but came back strong this season with a regular season championship. For Mays, it was also his first time suiting up in the playoffs. After a brief period of discomfort, Internacional Mayami opened the scoring quickly thanks to a swing from Suarez, while Atlanta United relied on a goal from wing forward Lubao Ennidis to tie the game 1-1 at the half.
As the game entered the whitewash stage, when the two sides were at a standstill, Mays made a clever use of a break down the right side of the field in the 60th minute of the contest, followed by a pinpoint cross that allowed Zodi Ebba, who had already ambushed the team near the left goal, to score from close range.
Since joining International Maia Mi, Mays has contributed 18 assists to the team, tying him with teammate Roberto Taille as one of the best assists in team history, and on the early morning of Nov. 3, Maia Mi will once again be challenged, and Mays and his teammates will continue to write the legend with their strengths.
