Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Ajax turned into a farce on Wednesday night after the English club discovered the goals were ten centimetres too small.
The Gunners, who eventually progressed to the group stage of the competition with a 1-0 victory, had noticed in the warm-up that the posts were not the right height.
Last-minute adjustments were made before kick-off, with further alterations made at half-time, leaving Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall bewildered.
Arsenal realised the goalposts at Sportpark De Toekomst by 10 centimetres on Wednesday
‘It’s been a very weird experience coming here, a big club like Ajax but we had to measure the goals before the game and it turned out the goals were too small by 10 centimetres,’ Eidevall said.
