Pete saw the ball not far off. He ran up to it and kicked it. But the grass was wet and he couldn`t kick it properly. ..................... . Everyone in the other team was happy, but his own team was very sad.

In fact, the ball was very muddy.
So the ball went straight into his own goal.
Then the referee blew his whistle.
