Kumagaya Goro is a goalie for Shirayuri Junior High, a team that hasn't won in three years.

Goro and Nagisa enroll in Kawasaki High; Goro joins the soccer team with Yakumaru and Shingo; they beat Yokohama Minami's fifth team, but they tell Goro he has to save 100 penalties if he wants to play the fourth team.

Kawako face bruisers, Miwa Technical High, in the first round of the Inter High prelims.

In the quarterfinals of the Inter High prelims, Kawako is forced to play with only ten men after Yakumaru stops coming to practice.

One day over summer break, Goro and the team run into Katsuhiko, twin brother of Yokonan's Yoshihiko. What does his arrival at the school mean for Goro?

Fall is here, and the prelims for the High School Soccer Championship have begun; Yakumaru is jealous of Goro for stealing the limelight.
