Soccer Tic Tac Toe

The rules are simple and do not differ at all from the rules of the original game of tic tac toe, the only thing is that instead of the original, familiar attributes you have a football and sports cleats, which adds colour to the boring old design of this game.
Your task is to line up three balls or boots horizontally, vertically or diagonally to score a ‘goal’ and win the match.
This game is for two and you can play it with your friend or significant other, so only the one who is smarter, more cunning or perhaps knows some tactics will win.
