France took a 2-0 lead into the second
leg of their UEFA U-21 Championship qualifying playoff against Sweden,
but three goals for the home side in the first 71 minutes of the second
leg put Sweden ahead. Finally, in the 87th minute, defender Layvin Kurzawa
scored to put the aggregate score at 3-3 with France ahead on the away
goal. Convinced that this goal would seal France's place in next year's
tournament, Kurzawa mockingly saluted several Sweden players as he
celebrated. This proved to be a catastrophic mistake.
JUST ONE MINUTE LATER, perhaps powered by the invisible wrath of
Zlatan, Sweden's Oscar Lewicki scored his second goal of the match to
restore their lead. Sweden won the second leg 4-1 to confirm a place in
the tournament with an aggregate score of 4-3.
Naturally, the entire team turned Kurzawa's obnoxious salute right back at him in force.And that's how Layvin Kurzawa learned the hard way that karma is real.
