Viana Esporte is a low-level Brazilian soccer club and found themselves up 2-0 in the 81st minute. However, they learned that the team closest to them in the standings had advanced ahead of them thanks to winning their final game 5-1. Because goal differential was a tie-breaker, Viana Espotre would need 9 goals to advance.
Then they did it, 9 goals in 9 minutes. I wonder if this is like how Ichiro claims he could hit lots of home runs if he wanted to but just doesn’t; are these soccer players able to just score at will and choosing not to?
I will say it looks like the defense just totally gives up at multiple points, they aren’t even half-assing it, more like one-eighth-assing.
