“We are happy to add the three points but not because of how we achieved them.” The sentence belongs to the women’s futsal team of Gimnasia La Plata, which this Saturday won 4-2 against Banfield with a curiosity: the four goals of the winners were scored in their own goal by the Drill players. The reason? It was not convenient for Banfield to win this match.
A moment of total unsportsmanlike madness That could have repercussions for the whole of the south since Lobo announced that he will present a report to the AFA on what happened in the match played at the Nueva Estrella club.
The match corresponded to the penultimate date of the Women’s Futsal Second Division tournament, with both casts already qualified for the promotion playoffs, to which the first four of the two areas that make up the category pass.
Banfield’s intention would be to stay away from the key of Almafuerte, the great power of the division (10 played, 10 won), so as not to cross it in the semifinals and have a more accessible path towards the definition since the two finalists are promoted to First.
Consequently, after starting the match against the platenses up 2-0, the Banfield players began to score goals against, with simple passes to the goalkeeper who let her pass under the sole. “If they are going to play like this …” was heard from the stands. A true example of what not to do in sport, one that recently gave great joy with the National Team’s performance at the 2021 Lithuania World Cup.
