Video: Turkish U11 team learn invaluable lessons in heartbreaking few moments

Sportsmanship is key

Ben Kiely

By seeking and blundering we learn.

In a strange game in Turkey, Bursaspor U-11s seemed to learn every lesson under the sun about competition in a few brief  moments.

The odd sequence begins with a team celebration that goes horribly wrong when the opposing side kick off and quickly fire back with a goal. However, feeling empathy for the opposition, the other team decided to stand back and let Bursaspor regain their advantage.

Bursaspor stormed forward and with an open goal at their mercy, the kid in possession tried to finish with a little bit too much flare and let the chance go begging. That’s when the real drama began.

Check out the strange passage of play below.
