The first professional football match was played 132 years ago and this incredible sport has soon become the most important secondary thing in the world. However, what happened two days ago at Estadio do Bessa in Porto, Portugal, has never been seen either at this 113-year-old ground or in football. Namely, both the starting and the backup goalkeeper of the Portuguese club Boavista – Joao Goncalves and Luis Pires – were sidelined on Tuesday due to the exact same injury. And arguably the worst one – the ACL tear!🚨🇵🇹 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Boavista Football Club has announced that both goalkeepers, João Gonçalves and backup Luis Pires, suffered ACL injuries during Tuesday’s training session. 😬 pic.twitter.com/0ceYFkKPde— Football View Hub (@FootballViewHub) September 13, 2024 Given that the only custodian left in The Panthers’ squad is the 17-year-old Tome Sousa, who has never made a single appearance in senior football, the club from Porto immediately reacted, signing the 32-year-old Brazilian Cesar Dutra, who spent the previous two seasons at the Liga Portugal’s side reserve team. The management initially decided not to extend his contract after the end of the last season, but after what happened on Tuesday, Dutra became Boavista’s last resort. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures.Benfica come down with a ‘PSG virus’The Brazilian has already trained with the team and been registered, but the youngster Sousa still has a better chance to start against Estrela on Monday. Should that happen, the teenager would dethrone the legendary Rui Patricio – who debuted for Sporting at 18 – as the youngest-ever goalkeeper in the Portuguese league.##NAJAVA_MECA_8334067##
