| Young Boys captain Mohammad Ali Kamara fails to stop Manchester City striker Arling Holland Photo: Twitter The exchange of jerseys between the two teams at the end of the match is one of the most beautiful scenes in football. Gifting jerseys to fans after matches is not new. However, the 'sweet' experience of Earling Holland last night is an exception. Did you know that he has such a big fan in the opposing team! Manchester City played against Young Boys last night in the UEFA Champions League. At the end of the first half of the match, on the way back to the dressing room, Young Boys captain Muhammad Ali Kamara asked Holland for a jersey! Holland also took off the jersey and handed it over to Kamara. Manchester City had to burn a bit of straw in the previous appearance at the Young Boys' ground. In that match, the Young Boys kept City in check until the first half. The Swiss club took the lead at the beginning of the second half, but soon equalized. In the end, however, City could not be held back. More precisely, Arling Holland could not be contained. His brace saw the reigning Champions League champions return home with a 3-1 win. Despite being tested a bit in the next field, City did not give any chance at the Etihad Stadium yesterday. Pep Guardiola's team beat Young Boys 3-0 at the beginning of the second half. Also confirmed the knockout stage as the first team. Who is the hero of the night to lift the team to the last sixteen? That Earling Holland. Just like the first leg, he also scored two goals in the return leg. In the previous match, he scored one of the two goals from the penalty, same in this match. The only difference is the time of scoring. The Norwegian striker scored two goals this time in two halves. Phil Foden's goal is sandwiched between these two.  Young Boys captain Kamara was so impressed by Holland's performance that he became a fan. So he looked for the jersey during the break. At the time, Holland was heard saying, 'You can't do it.' |
Young boys coach Rafael Vicky was surprised to see Kamara's actions. He said that he will talk to Kamara about this.
After the break, Holland entered the field wearing another jersey. In the sixth minute of the second half, Holland scored with a strong left-footed shot from 20 yards away after overcoming some of the opponents. Seeing his goal, the Manchester United legend told a television channel, "If he (Holland) starts scoring long-range shots like that, it will be impossible to mark him."  Holland lost balance. Kamarachabi helped him stand up: Holland lost his balance on Twitter. Kamara helped him stand up Photo: Twitter Barcelona had a chance to reach the knockout stage before Manchester City. Because the Barca match started two and a half hours ago. But the Spanish champions missed the chance by losing 1-0 to Shakhtar Donetsk. War-torn Ukrainian club Shakhtar play their home matches in Hamburg, Germany. Shakhtar got their first win yesterday at the 'temporary home' Volksparkstadion, that too beating superpowers like Barca. Danilo Cican scored the winning goal in the 40th minute of the match. Disappointed Barca coach Javi Hernandez said after the match, "We had a lot of deficits." It was one of our worst matches in the last two years. In the night's other match, PSG went ahead against AC Milan but lost 2–1.
