Eliaquim Mangala endured a weekend of disappointment as he found himself at the center of unfortunate events during his team’s match. The Franco-Congolese defender’s actions contributed to his club’s defeat in the championship on Sunday.
In the clash between FC Porto and Estoril, Mangala was responsible for conceding a penalty, resulting in a red card being shown to him. This setback proved costly as the penalty allowed the opposing team to break the deadlock in the 78th minute. Despite their efforts, Mangala’s teammates couldn’t recover from the deficit, ultimately succumbing to a 0-1 defeat at home.
The outcome surely leaves Mangala with a heavy heart, reflecting on what could have been.
