The UEFA Europa League clash at the Benito Villamarín Stadium in Seville, Spain, is turning into a truly dramatic affair.
Details: Betis are confidently beating Braga 2-1. However, the score could have been 3-0 in favor of the Spanish side. With the score at 2-0, Ez Abde found the net, finishing off a pinpoint assist from Antony, but the celebration was cut short by the referee’s whistle. The goal was ruled out for an offside by Antony.
The players appeared to be level, but the referee judged that the Brazilian was in fact ahead of the last defender.
It’s worth noting that Antony has already found the back of the net once in this match.
Reminder: Freiburg turned Celta’s slogans into a cruel joke.
