A goalkeeper falls injured and cries. The opposing team "without sportsmanship" scores and celebrates "Video"
The Women's Football League in Mexico witnessed a strange incident, during a match between Atlético San Luis and Deportivo Toluca a few days ago.
And the sports website "ESBN" (Latin version) said that the Toluca strikers were not sporting, as the team took advantage of the fall of the San Luis goalkeeper injured to the ground, so they scored a goal in the goal and celebrated it.
San Luis goalkeeper Stephanie Jimenez received a ball from the defense, and none of the opponent's players was near her, but she stumbled on the ground and hit her knee, and she fell, leaving the ball.

The Toluca players were severely criticized by the match commentator and the media in Mexico and abroad, as the consensus was that what they did had nothing to do with sportsmanship, especially since the goalkeeper's fall was alone and far from any joint play with the opposing team, and that in such cases The ball is taken out to rescue the goalkeeper, although there is no law obligating Toluca players to do so, but it is a sporting custom that all players and players know, as confirmed by a number of officials of the local football federation.
Several media outlets have called on the local federation to force the Toluca team into an educational program on sportsmanship in football.
A number of San Luis players reprimanded their opponents after the goal.
Later, it was found that the guard had a ruptured knee that required treatment for a period of up to about a month.
The goalkeeper appeared deeply affected as she left the field and did not stop crying, amid the attempts of her colleagues to relieve her.
