This is just too much. In a
Brazilian lower division football match a team masseur sneaked onto the pitch
to make a series of decisive saves to send his team to the semi-final playoff.
The game between Aparecidence and
Tupi was locked at 2-2 when Aparecident masseur Romildo Fonseca da Silva (AKA
Lefty) who can be seen sneaking into his side’s goalmouth when his keeper
strays out of position and blocked two certain goal plays before clearing the ball to
the side.
“Lefty” then literally ran for his
life while been pursued by a riotous mob of opposition players and officials
before escaping through a door.
Match officials to everyone
surprised decided not to award Tulpi a goal and to add insult to insanity,
Aparecidence was allowed to progress to the semi-finals based on the away goals
rule.
“Lefty” was later quoted as saying to the Brazilian media 'It
was our only chance. If I hadn't done it, Aparecidense would have been knocked
out,'.
'I don't regret it because I did it
out of love for the club.'
I love football.
UNBELIEVABLE.
