6 игра в одни ворота
Началась игра - силовая, жёсткая, бескомпромиссная. Игра, по сути, в одни ворота. Два измученных, теряющих силы путника - и взбесившаяся стихия. (В. Тельпугов, Дыхание костра) — The game had begun - a tough, uncompromising power play. A game, in essence, with one goal-mouth. Two weary travellers who were losing their strength - and the rampaging elements.
