According to information from the newspaper Record, Rui Silva ended up returning to the locker room without the towels that had been next to the goal he was defending, as they were stolen by the ball boys—who, in the final minutes, also made the balls “disappear” to delay the restart of the match.

According to the same source, after the final whistle by Luís Godinho at Estádio do Dragão, the Sporting players found their locker room filled with newspaper covers recalling achievements and victories of the undefeated city’s club from the past.
