Knife on the pitch, Chivu on fire drill 🚬 and missed moments ⏰

Another weekend of football has ended, and keeping track of everything that happened is impossible, and perhaps some absurd events might have slipped by you.

Let's look at the episodes you probably missed this weekend.

🔪 Knife on the field: players try to hide it

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

The home players of AS FAR tried to hide the object, pulling away the Al Ahly players who were attempting to bring it to the referee. A scene that needs no further comment.

👊 Goal validated with a brawl on the field

During the match between Gaziantep and Eyupspor in the Turkish Super Lig, a brawl broke out in the Eyupspor penalty area. However, the referee did not stop the action, and Emmanuel Boateng scored into an empty net while the altercation was ongoing: everything was valid, and the 2-1 was awarded normally.

🚬 Chivu and the fire alarm

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

The coach took the opportunity to make a quick joke: "Is someone smoking? Not me, I'm sorry, not me." A clear reference to his habit of smoking after matches.

🤣 He carries the stretcher 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 intention was noble, the gesture interfered with the medics' work, and the referee was forced to book him.

❄️ Snowballs in protest

Fans of the Bosnian team FK Sarajevo, after a 0-0 home draw against Široki Brijeg, decided to protest by throwing snowballs at the players entering the tunnel. The police shielded part of it: no one was hurt during this "winter-themed" protest.

🎇 Goal in Premier from 43.3 meters

Tyler Adams scored from 43.3 meters for Bournemouth against Sunderland: a goal that did not prevent the defeat.

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