EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling moment captured at Ashton Gate Stadium on 26th February 2010, during the Championship football match between Bristol City and Scunthorpe United, Liam Fontaine of the home team comes agonizingly close to scoring a dramatic last-minute equalizer. With the clock ticking down and the scoreline reading 1-0 in favor of Scunthorpe, Fontaine leaps high to meet a pinpoint cross from his teammate, his determined expression etched on his face as he prepares to head the ball into the net. However, the Scunthorpe defense, sensing the danger, rallies to the cause. A sea of bodies converges on the scene, with one defender managing to clear the ball off the line just as Fontaine makes contact. The collective sigh of relief from the away supporters is palpable as the ball sails away from goal, denying the home side an unlikely point in a hard-fought encounter. Fontaine, crestfallen but not defeated, turns away from the action, his teammates rallying around him in support. The final whistle blows moments later, sealing a narrow victory for Scunthorpe United. This image encapsulates the drama, tension, and unpredictability of football, with Fontaine's near-goal serving as a reminder of the fine margins that can separate victory from defeat. This photo, taken by Joe Meredith, transports us back to the old days of the Championship, a time when every game was a battle for supremacy, and every point mattered. It's a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, that will be cherished by football fans for generations to come.
