Players compete in UEFA Youth League matches

The young players from Porto and Liverpool could not cope with the nerves after a series of penalties.

The UEFA Youth League 1/8 final match between Porto and Liverpool was a principled and tense game. As a result, it ended up in a brawl and removals from the field.

In regular time, the winner cannot be determined. The Portuguese and the British exchanged goals (1:1), and a ticket to the quarterfinals had to be played in a penalty shootout.

Here the situation has also increased to the limit. It came in the seventh attempt, where the player of “Reds” was accurate, but the representative of “dragons” Umaru Kande hit the crossbar, giving a ticket to the next round to the opposing team.

After that, the Liverpool players with the whole team rushed to congratulate their goalkeeper, but on the way they caught the defeated Kande, who was not noticed by his teammates. The Porto players, as well as the entire team, ran to his defense, and a mass brawl broke out on the field.

The skirmish resulted in two straight red cards for Porto players and one for Liverpool’s representative. Also, the footballer of the “reds” Ben Doak received a cut lip.
