When the champions are knocked out... by their own reserves 😭 | OneFootball

Shock in the city!

The Colombian Cup delivered absolute madness on Wednesday. Junior FC (the club where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s father played), reigning first-division champions, were facing their feeder club, Barranquilla FC, a second-division side owned by the same people.

A brother-against-brother clash that had already turned crazy when the little brother went 3-2 up, until an 88th-minute penalty allowed Junior FC to snatch extra time, before a highly anticipated penalty shootout.

It lived up to the hype, with Barranquilla knocking out the champions with a panenka. The perfect ending to this wild script! 

An insane moment that must bring mixed feelings to the city, with huge joy for the winners and a very particular kind of bitterness for Junior FC. 

Luckily, the two clubs do not share the same facilities, because training over the next few days would have been awkward...

How would you feel if your club got knocked out of the Cup by the B team?
