the underlined cohesive devices are used, and replace them using the ones given below.

I couldn't watch the game. What was it like? How do you think we won?

At first (1), we did not play well. I think it was due to the pressure of winning.

Then (2), we conceded a goal, and following this (3), everyone, from the fans to the coach,
recovered. Zenatha

How did that happen?

First (4), the coach noticed the problems. Second (5), he changed the tactic. Third (6), he made effective
substitutions. In the meantime (7), the fans kept cheering nonstop as well.
Zenatha
Did these work?

Absolutely! However, it took some time. The defenders of the rival team couldn’t resist the press. Therefore (8), one
of them made a mistake, and our first goal came. Similarly (9), another defender made a mistake too, and (10) the
winning goal came. Everyone went crazy. You should have seen it.
Zenatha

Next time, maybe.

Ha ha ha! You can see a game of this kind once in a blue moon! Alex
