The "temple burning" is as confusing as match-fixing at the Club World Cup, fans say harsh words

(Dan Tri) - Juventus center-back Pierre Kalulu had a strange goal-burning incident in the match against Man City. That made fans think that this player sold the match.

Man City won 5-2 against Juventus

Last night, Juventus suffered a 2-5 defeat against Man City in Group G of the FIFA Club World Cup. In particular, Juventus's loss in the 26th minute (when the score was 1-1) left many people confused.

In this situation, Matheus Nunes ran up the right wing before passing the ball into the Juventus penalty area. At that time, Kalulu was not under any pressure but still kicked the ball straight into his own net.

This loss greatly affected the spirit of Juventus players. As a result, the Italian team collapsed and lost heavily to Man City.

On Reddit, many fans have voiced their concerns about the legitimacy of Kalulu’s questionable own goal. Here are some of the comments:

“The cross wasn't too dangerous but Kalulu made it dangerous.”

“The worst own goal ever”.

“Investigate the Juventus defender immediately.”

“The pass was so good that Kalulu wanted to score too.”

“What is he doing? I don't think such match-fixing happens in top-level football.”

“I suspect that the match between Juventus and Man City was fixed.”

Kalulu is a French centre-back. He grew up in the Lyon academy. He played for AC Milan, before moving to Juventus in 2024. Earlier this month, Kalulu was called up to the French national team and he made his debut against Spain in the Nations League.

With the second place in Group G, Juventus will have to face a huge challenge named Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. The match will take place at 2:00 a.m. on July 2.
