A German goalkeeper has been arrested for conceding 43 goals
in a one-sided defeat for his local club side SV Vonderort against rivals PSV
Oberhausen.
Marco Kwiotek’s truly criminal performance for his side was
enough for armed policemen to arrest him when he turned up for training five
days after the record-breaking defeat.
The score was 35-0 at halftime, and at one point
Vonderort, Kwiotek’s team were only able to field eight players.
PSV Oberhausen felt so bad about the squad that they took
off three of their own players just to even up the numbers.
Five days after the game, the police showed up at Vonderort
training and arrested Kwiotek.
The police gave no reason for his arrest. However, Kwiotek
was quoted saying “They just want to clear some things up” as they took
him away.
But he hasn’t been seen since.
Before he was marched away from the training session Kwiotek
said: “The result of the last match was hard to take. I don’t want to see that
happen again.”
Vonderort’s trainer Yvonne Liesenfeld said: “I don’t know
what is going on with the police. “First he lets in 43 goals and then he gets
taken away by the law.”
There is also some speculations the goalkeeper could have
been arrested for match-fixing, but police have refused to comment on why he
was arrested.
Marco Kwiotek’s situation is a hard one to take when you
consider that a Nigerian team once conceded 79 goals back in 2013.
According to Goal.com, Plateau United Feeders hammered
Akurba FC 79-0 while Police Machine FC demolished Babayaro FC 67-0 in play-off
fixtures in which the winners would qualify for the Nigeria Nationwide League
Division 3.
The only thing that happened to the four teams was their
suspensions and not arrest.
