The AFC Champions League final between Machida Zelvia and Al-Ahli will be remembered not only for the fierce battle for the trophy, but also for an unusual incident involving the Japanese side.
In the 76th minute, during a corner kick routine, three Machida players collided with each other right on the edge of the opponent's penalty area. The collision was serious enough that all three needed medical attention on the pitch.
Such amusing situations are extremely rare in professional football, which triggered a lively reaction both in the stands and across social media.
