6月15日，滂沱大雨中，“‘徐汇实验-华泾杯’小学女子足球赛”八强淘汰赛在徐汇实验小学展开。首次参赛的世外小学女足队历经波折，以点球4:3，总比分5:4的比分战胜去年的四强和种子队高安路第一小学，昂首挺进四强。这场雨中鏖战，不仅是技术与意志的较量，更书写了足球运动中超越胜负的温情与力量。
赛前波折：风雨无阻的坚守
风雨无阻的比赛当日，暴雨如注。世外女足队员无一人因此缺席，家长与教练组亦全员到场。然而开赛前10分钟，危机突袭：主力队员Renée的球鞋被指不符合赛规，情急之下得到求知小学的帮忙，借了他们队员的球鞋才得以登场。大雨中“没有一个人退缩。”带队体育老师Sophia说到：“小姑娘们一个个在雨里站成一排，眼神比晴天更亮。”
雨中鏖战：战术与热血碰撞
上半场开始了，世外小学女足在刘大祥教练与陈英超教练的战术调度下稳控战局，以稳守反击为主，队员们体现了良好的战术纪律，半场结束牢牢的锁住了0:0的比分。
下半场开场第12分钟，右后卫Marcha在中场断球后，立即冷静的把球横传给中路接应的后腰Ellie，Ellie拿球后迅速向前直传给前插的Renée，世外小学9号箭头如离弦之箭突破对方两名后卫在禁区前的包夹后，以一记刁钻的低平球射门直窜远角…...Goal！打破僵局，1:0的比分点燃全场。但高一小学迅速反扑，在下半场尾声还有最后五分钟时扳平比分。常规时间结束，双方1:1战平，比赛直接进入残酷的点球大战。
点球惊魂：门将铸就铜墙铁壁。
4:3决胜时刻 雨帘中，世外门将Alice首罚命中追平比分。次轮她神勇侧扑挡出点球，Renée劲射反超至2:1。第三轮Ellie推射中柱错失杀死比赛良机，第四轮对方和Ava都入一球战成3:3。第五轮Alice再献扑救，Bonnie射门被封再次错失绝杀。 第六轮Alice第三次扑出点球，当三年级的Jasmine站上点球点时，全场安静地只剩雨声，只见她她助跑起脚，皮球刁钻入网！记分牌定格4:3，教练与替补队员瞬间冲入球场，欢呼与泪水在雨幕中沸腾。此刻的绿茵场，雨水混着汗水，对手间互相递来的毛巾，让这场胜利有了超越比分的温度。
超越输赢：足球编织情谊之网
当终场哨音划破雨幕时，两支浑身湿透的队伍在积水的草皮上手拉手。世外女足队员发梢滴落的胜利水珠与高一小学门将脸颊上遗憾的泪滴在雨地里交融，构成一幅超越胜负的动人图面 —— 她们手拉手向场边鞠躬，雨水顺着脊背在球衣上漫成深痕，却浇不灭教练席上湿润的眼眶与家长们嘶哑的欢呼。
这场比赛如同一面棱镜，折射出女足小将们的坚韧、教练组的智慧，以及足球运动跨越年龄与胜负的魅力。当雨丝在发梢凝结成珠，那群在草皮上奔跑的“小玫瑰”早已捧起比比分更珍贵的勋章：是雨中紧握的双手，是跨越输赢的拥抱，更是用热爱酿成的永不褪色的成长印记。

Roses Blooming in the Rain
World Foreign Language Primary School International Division
Girls' Football Team Advances to Semifinals via Penalty Shootout
On June 15, amid torrential rain, the quarterfinal knockout of the "Xuhui Experimental-Huajing Cup" Primary School Girls' Football Tournament took place at Xuhui Experimental Primary School. Competing in the tournament for the first time, the World Foreign Language Primary School International Division, girls' football team defeated last year's semifinalist and seeded team, Gaolan Road No.1 Primary School. This was achieved with a penalty shootout score of 4:3 (aggregate score 5:4), and they proudly advanced to the semifinals.
This hard-fought battle in the rain was not only a contest of skills and willpower but also a testament to the warmth and strength of football that transcends victory and defeat.
#### Pre-Match Challenges:
Unwavering Dedication Despite Adverse Weather
On the stormy match day, heavy rain poured down, yet none of the World Foreign Language girls' football team members were absent, with all parents and coaches also in attendance. However, ten minutes before kick-off, a crisis struck. Key player Renée's shoes were deemed non-compliant with regulations. In a pinch, they received help from Qiuzhi Primary School, borrowing a pair of shoes from their players to ensure her participation. "No one flinched in the rain," said PE teacher Sophia, the team leader. "The girls stood in a row, their eyes brighter than on a sunny day."
#### Fierce Battle in the Rain:
Tactics and Passion Collide
In the first half, under the tactical guidance of coaches Liu Daxiang and Chen Yingchao, the World Foreign Language team maintained control with a solid defense and counterattack strategy. They demonstrated excellent tactical discipline and kept the score 0:0 at halftime. Twelve minutes into the second half, right-back Marcha intercepted the ball in midfield and calmly crossed it to central midfielder Ellie. Ellie quickly played a straight pass to forward Renée, whose No.9 jersey became a blur as she burst through two defenders' tackles in the box and fired a刁钻 (precise) low shot into the far corner—Goal! The 1:0 breakthrough ignited the crowd.
The opponents, Gaolan Road No.1 quickly counterattacked, equalizing with five minutes left in the second half. At full-time, the score stood at 1:1, sending the match into a brutal penalty shootout.
#### Penalty Shootout Thriller:
The Goalkeeper's Iron Defense **4:3 Decisive Moment**
In the downpour, World Foreign Language goalkeeper Alice equalized with the first penalty. In the second round, her heroic save deflected the opponent's shot, and Renée's powerful strike put them ahead 2:1. In the third round, Ellie hit the post, missing a chance to seal a victory. The fourth round saw both sides score, leveling it to 3:3. In the fifth round, Alice saved again, but Bonnie's shot was blocked, squandering another match-winning opportunity. When third-grader Jasmine stepped up for the sixth-round penalty, the stadium fell silent except for the rain. With a composed run-up and strike, her shot found the net! The scoreboard定格 (froze) at 4:3. Coaches and substitutes stormed the pitch, their cheers and tears blending in the rain. On the sodden pitch,雨水 (rainwater) mixed with sweat, and towels exchanged between opponents gave this victory a warmth beyond the scoreline.
#### Beyond Victory:
Football Weaving a Web of Camaraderie
As the final whistle pierced the rain, the two drenched teams joined hands on the waterlogged pitch. The victorious droplets falling from the World Foreign Language players' hair mingled with the defeated tears on the Gaolan Road No.1 goalkeeper's cheek, painting a moving scene that transcended胜负 (win-loss). They bowed to the sidelines together, rainwater trailing down their jerseys, yet failing to dampen the misty eyes in the coaching box or the hoarse cheers from parents. This match was a prism reflecting the resilience of the young female footballers, the wisdom of the coaching staff, and the charm of football that spans age and competition. As raindrops clung to their hair, these "little roses" running on the pitch had already won a medal more precious than the score. It was the clasped hands in the rain, the hugs across victory and defeat, and the ever-lasting growth印记 (mark) forged by passion.
