Gibraltar's U16s Score Unlikely Equaliser as Macedonia Celebrate for Too Long

You'd think the idea of conceding a goal would be burned into Macedonian minds, and for good reason, but celebration karma struck again in a UEFA development tournament, and it cost their U16s dearly. 

Macedonia scored what should have been a tournament-winning goal from a corner kick in injury time but celebrated a bit too much for a bit too long in their own half. 

Gibraltar raced to restart and push for an unlikely equaliser and were allowed to do so since all of Macedonia's XI were in their own half.

Celebrating. 

The non-celebrators rushed to an all-too-easy goal with resistance from only one desperate defender and won the tournament on goal difference as a result of the 1-1 draw.

Lesson learned (again).

Earlier in the week, the senior Gibraltar side scored their first-ever competitive goal in a loss to Scotland (they've played only 11 official matches)...and it was scored by a policeman! 

It was quite a banner week for the British territory of just 30,000 people.
