During a recent soccer match in the Democratic Republic of Congo the game ended in an unsatisfying 1-1 tie due to an extremely unfortunate situation, the visiting team was killed! A bolt of lightning struck the entire visiting team, killing all 11 members and burning 30 other people.
L’Avenir, a nearby paper reported that local popular opinion was split over whether the team had been cursed by someone.
“The athletes from [the home team] Basanga curiously came out of this catastrophe unscathed,” the paper said.
In Johannesburg, South Africa lighting ALSO struck the pitch over the weekend, with a number of players on both teams falling to the pitch. Fortunately there the players’ eyes and ears were injured but no one was killed.
