Ballboy Sparks Huge Brawl In FFA Cup Final In Australia

Ballboy Sparks Huge Brawl In FFA Cup Final In Australia
12:23, 21 Nov 2017

Remember that incident with Eden Hazard and the ballboy at Swansea a few years back?

Well in Australia they have almost recreated it!

The FFA Cup final between Sydney FC and Adelaide United had gone to extra-time and things got heated as Adelaide chased the equaliser late into the game.

The Reds won a throw-in near the halfway line and the ball boy picked up the ball but refused to give it back to Michael Marrone.

Marrone, in a rush, took drastic action and seemed to rugby tackle the ball from him which led to a huge brawl with almost every player involved.

The referee instantly sent the right-back off which calmed the tussle down but the damage had already been done.

Sydney held on to win the FFA Cup 2-1 in extra-time, with goals from Miloš Ninković and Bobo giving them the win.

This incident certainly marred what was an entertaining and thrilling cup final. The game was end-to-end with plenty of chances for both sides but it was Sydney who came out on top despite Adelaide's best efforts.

To rub salt in the Adelaide wounds the ballboy then went up and lifted the trophy!

Watch this unmissable video below, what is your opinion on it? Harsh on the player or deserved?
