🔪 Knife on pitch, Vicario’s howler, Chivu’s smoke break: CL moments you missed ⏰ | OneFootball

Another football weekend has come to an end and keeping up with everything that happened is impossible, so maybe some crazy events slipped by you.

Let’s take a look at the episodes you probably missed this weekend.

🔪 Knife on the pitch: players try to hide it

During a match played in Morocco in the African Champions League between AS FAR (Morocco) and Al Ahly (Egypt), a sharp object, a particular type of knife, was thrown onto the pitch.

The home players from AS FAR tried to hide the object, pulling back the Al Ahly players who were trying to bring it to the referee. A scene that really needs no further comment.

👊 Goal awarded amid a brawl on the pitch

During the match between Gaziantep and Eyupspor in the Turkish Super Lig, a brawl broke out in Eyupspor’s penalty area. However, the referee did not stop play and Emmanuel Boateng scored into an empty net while the altercation was still ongoing: the goal stood and the score was given as 2-1 as usual.

🚬 Chivu and the fire alarm

After Inter’s 2-0 win against Pisa, the fire alarm went off in the press room at the Garibaldi Stadium while Cristian Chivu was speaking.

The coach took the opportunity to crack a quick joke: “Is someone smoking? Not me, sorry, not me.” A clear reference to his habit of smoking after matches.

🤣 He carries the stretcher himself and gets booked 🟨

During the Gil Vicente-Tondela match in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, player Martin Fernandez was booked for “stealing” the stretcher from a medic to bring it more quickly to an injured player.

Even though his intentions were noble, his action interfered with the work of the stretcher-bearers and the referee was forced to book him.

❄️ Snowballs as protest

After a 0-0 home draw against Široki Brijeg, the fans of Bosnian team FK Sarajevo decided to protest by throwing snowballs at the players as they entered the tunnel. The police shielded part of the area: no one was hurt during this “winter-themed” protest.

🎇 Premier League goal from 43.3 meters

Tyler Adams scored from 43.3 meters out for Bournemouth against Sunderland: a goal that wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.

This goal isn’t the longest-distance goal scored by an American in the Premier League: the record belongs to Tim Howard, Everton’s goalkeeper, who scored from 92.1 meters on January 4, 2012.

🦆 Vicario, what are you doing?

Our own Guglielmo Vicario was extremely unlucky, and in Tottenham’s home defeat against Fulham he was more than a little at fault...

In the first six minutes, the former Empoli keeper conceded two goals, but that’s not really the issue. The second, in fact, was caused by a completely avoidable run out of his area. Harry Wilson thanks him and makes the Italian look pretty silly!
