The tension burst into sound, a wave of cheers, of exhaustion, and of slight triumph and relief all blending into one.
Players of the away side dropped to their knees, at how thin and close the end had been.
How they had almost conceded and lost the game for almost the entirety of the latter stages of the game.
"Full time!" the commentator called over the noise on the broadcast.
"And what a finish we've had here! Wigan 1, Middlesbrough 1, but that doesn't tell half the story. The home side were relentless, fearless, and it's that young man again, Leo, at the heart of it all. This kid just keeps on turning up game after game, and I am not surprised they are chanting his name. What a performance. What a moment."
On the pitch, Leo stood still for a second, his chest rising and falling, the noise crashing around him like waves.
