Youth Soccer Tournament at Disney Turns Violent
On Saturday Pachuca FC from Miami played against the Orlando EC/QPR Academy at the Disney Cup International youth soccer tournament.
A Miami team's good sportsmanship during a youth soccer tournament at the happiest place on Earth is coming into question.
On Saturday Pachuca FC from Miami played against the Orlando EC/QPR Academy at the Disney Cup International youth soccer tournament.
The Miami team was vying for the number one spot but lost 2 to 1 to the Orlando team.
Instead of handshakes, the players apparently exchanged kicks and punches.
"[He] comes to me and punch me and scratch me in the face, and I punch him and I said 'Don't touch me!'," said Jesus Albornoz, the Miami team's center back.
He has a swollen eye and a scratch on the side of his face.
Alboronoz says the punch came not from a rival teenaged soccer player, but from a parent of one on the other team.
The reason for the violence on the field is unclear but it has turned into a blame game.
The Miami team says when the blow of losing the most important tournament of the season hit them hard.One team member started crying on the ground. Then an Orlando goalie literally kicked that player when he was down.
"The goalie comes to my player and kicks him in the face," said Alboronoz.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office is recommending that player be charged with felony battery. The State Attorney's office will make the final decision.
