When a South American football club throws a tantrum...
When the Bolivian FA refused a request from Universitario de Sucre to switch last weekend's league fixture against Bolivar, the club response was quite literally childish. The club had asked for the game to be postponed to allow them prepare for tonight's Copa Libertadores quarter-final against Mineros, but when their request was turned down, Universitario rested its first-team squad and sent out a team of just seven players, all from the youth team. https://instagram.com/p/1WQxuSA5R6/ The match was unsurprisingly a farce, as Bolivar scored two quick goals before an injury to one of the Universitario youngsters meant the match was forfeited, as of course there was nobody on the bench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juQ_cuUFx68 What a shambles.
