Sporting keeper kicked in the face on the pitch: his brow split open | OneFootball

The East Mallorca Cup tournament, at under-15 level, was marked by violent incidents in the clash between Sporting and Penya Arrabal. Six players ended up being sent off, three from each team, after confrontations at the end of the match. One of the spectators described what happened and said the Lions’ goalkeeper was kicked.

"There were Sporting kids who responded to the opponents’ provocations. There were two or three of them, and those two or three were fine. However, there were another two or three who went to help a teammate, in this case the goalkeeper, who fell to the ground and was being kicked by four or five members of the opposing team. As a result, his eyebrow was split open," he told the newspaper 'Record'.

The confusion spread beyond the pitch, involving family members: "There were parents of the opposing players who jumped onto the field. Here in Spain, things are very difficult. The organization did not have many resources, there was only one referee and, by half-time, the coaches of both teams had already argued with each other. The organization only had one or two people there. There was no police or anything."

The tense atmosphere was intensified by the locals: "As one of the teams was from the island, it had loads of people supporting it, with a strong presence of parents, grandparents, mothers, cousins and uncles. The atmosphere was heated up like this by the coaches and by some of the parents present," he reported.
