You’re playing beach soccer against those guys? Yeah, and I’m worried. I’ve never seen anyone kick a ball like that before! The day of the exhibition match arrives... The Brazilians have more experience playing on sand, and it shows. It’s the Warriors versus Bossa Nova City in a five-a-side game of beach soccer! But the Warriors are holding their own out there! I had better keep an eye on these guys... It’s yours, Vusi! ...They might do more of those crazy moves from yesterday! Chikudu passes the ball to vuzi vuzela.

But here comes Enzo Fernandez with an incredible interception! Rio de Janeiro! You should visit some time, amigo! Iyo! Where did you come from?!! Eish! I can’t tell where that kick is coming from! And the unique kicking style of the Brazilians has beaten the goalkeeper! Let’s go, Come on, Vusi. You guys can do this! Warriors! Those kicks are insane! What do you call those moves? Ha ha! It’s called Capoeira! And it’s not so easy to beat! During the half-time break... Hmm…I wonder if my powers could help with that… We’re just going to have to predict their movements. What in the world is “Kahpuh-air-ah”?! “Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music.” Haw! That’s not diski! But how? Those kicks can come from any angle! After the half-time break… And we’re back, with Bossa Nova City still in the lead! Team captain, Enzo Fernandez, is getting under a high pass… But Vuzela is on the approach to challenge him! And he is preparing for another one of his specialised Capoeira kicks! Okay, let’s see if my powers can help me to get a read on his movements… It’s working! I can see where he’s going to kick the ball! Vuzela is picking up speed! Eh? And that means I can move in to intercept it! What a brilliant move by Fernandez! Unbelievable! Look at Enzo Fernandez go! He can adapt faster than I can predict his moves! Eish! Yeah, but it wasn’t good enough! He saw me coming and changed his movements! Now I can’t get near him! Impressive! You almost had me there! After the game... Bossa Nova City wins! What a spectacular exhibition match! Vusi! I want to congratulate you on an excellent game! Perhaps we will face each other in Brazil someday soon. I’m looking forward to it, amigo!
