At first, nothing changed. Ethan Ward tripped over his own feet. Then, in the 89th minute, 2-1 down, Alex crossed the ball. Ward, positioned badly, suddenly moved—not like an AI, but like a man possessed. He contorted his body, bicycle-kicked the ball into the top corner, and stood still. The replay showed his eyes tracking the goalkeeper before the ball even left the crosser’s foot.
