Footage Shows How Bad Pro Piacenza's Defending For 16th Goal Was

The Serie C side could only field eight men and they were all teenagers. They lost 20-0 to Cueno having been 16-0 at half time.

How's your weekend? Well there's a good chance that you're having a better time than the lads at Pro Piacenza after the Serie C side lost 20-0 to Cueno, now there's footage of one of the goals.

FA Cup weeknd tends to mean it's a slightly quieter weekend of football on these shores, especially when it doesn't produce one of the big upsets that we've come to know and love the cup for.

However there's still drama to be found elsewhere and in the Italian third tier there were plenty of goals to be had in Cueno's home game against Pro Piacenza, although less drama it's fair to say.

The away side have been struggling with financial problems recently and many of their players have been on strike. As such they have had to cancel three of their recent games, a fourth abandoned match would have led to them being thrown out of the league.

To avoid such an issue the club put out a team of 18/19 year old youth players and with only eight players available that's what they had to play with, being managed by their 19 year old captain.

It was no surprise to find them 16-0 down at half time and the 16th just proved the gap between the two sides:

You've got to doff your cap slightly at the losing side. Whatever their stand in 19 year old manager said at half time clearly worked as they managed to only concede four times in the second half.





It's fair to say it's not been a great weekend for the Serie C side.
