Football fans sing disgusting mockery for the unconscious player in the FA Cup match

English soccer fans can engage in some pretty awful behavior, but in a match between Crystal Palace and Millwall, the fans’ actions were especially bad.

The two sides were playing in the fifth round of the FA Cup, which is a tournament in which clubs from all top four leagues in England play to win (Crystal Palace is a Premier League team, and Milwall plays in the second-highest league). Less than six minutes into their match, things got terrifying.

Milwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts tried to clear a ball outside of his box, which means that he could not use his hands. The striker of Crystal Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta, took on the high-bound ball when Roberts tried to clarify with his foot.

Unfortunately Roberts' foot caught Mateta's ear and threw it out. The medical staff had to give oxygen for nine minutes before it became the hospital. The goalkeeper received a red card and threw out.

Here is the collision.

If you can believe it, it wasn't even the most shocking part of the story. According to the New York PostSome Milwall fans sang “let him die” when Mateta was lying on the floor.

I am a Boston sports fan, so I'm fully aware of how classless fans can be. However, this is another level of ugly. The guy was to life on a thread and these fans wanted to die?

Fortunately, Mateta posted a message on Instagram after pulling out his page A 3-1 victory.

“Thanks for all your friendly news. I'm fine. I hope to be back very soon. And stronger than ever before. wrote.

It was a bad injury that could have been much worse. Every Milwall fan who sang should never take part in a football game again.
