Rare metal patience game depicting a football match scene , with an ingenious principle: the case is composed of two illustrated sides , each representing a half or a different team (yellow vs red). The ball travels between the two levels via small internal openings, giving the illusion of a real exchange between the teams. Each side features a stylized playing field with moving players, goal nets, and numerous holes to aim for. This type of toy, which is uncommon, was probably intended for two players or to simulate a confrontation.
