The exciting duel of the 1st round of the English FA Cup qualification between Blackfield and Shepton Mallet did not offer a winner, but the home side made the end of the match really complicated. In the 76th minute, home goalkeeper Connor Maseko had to take a shower prematurely. After the standard situation, he decided to go to the toilet right next to the pitch to the hedge, which was pointed out to the referee by the visiting players.
“He was next to the hedge. He did it so that he could not be seen. Sometimes when you need to, you just have to go,” home team co-manager Conor McCarthy told the BBC. “I was stunned, we’re all shocked by the decision,” he added.
The visiting Shepton Mallet team was also amused by the incident after the match, on whose pitch a rematch will take place due to a goalless draw. “After the unusual red card in the first match, we are looking for a sponsor. Plumbers, take advantage of it!” joked the England team.
And since the spectators did not see the goal, the main topic is the exclusion of the home goalkeeper. “A decent match that will see a rematch. But the spectators will remember this match because of the exclusion of the home goalkeeper, who relieved himself next to the hedge after playing the ball,” described one of the fans.
