Watch painful moment Sporting’s Inacio is smacked in privates with ball and falls down in agony against Tottenham

SPORTING LISBON’S Goncalo Inacio was left in a heap on the ground after taking one in his privates.

The centre-back was defending at all costs against Tottenham but unfortunately ended up blocking with his crown jewels.

It was no laughing matter for Inacio – who needed a breather afterwards.

One fan said: “That’s gonna hurt poor Inacio.”

Another added: “Goncalo Inacio faced a tight shot to the middle of the legs.”

One posted: “That one has got to hurt for Inacio.”

Inacio, once linked with Manchester United, managed to get back to his feet and play on shortly after.

Tottenham travelled to Portugal for their first Champions League match in two seasons.

But they had supporters fearing the game was OFF – due to an online error.

Spurs were forced to apologise for the “technical error” that had left fans who had booked planes to Lisbon panicking.

Eagle-eyed supporters had spotted their website had been claiming the game was off just 48 hours before kick-off.

This follows the weekend’s matches in England being postponed after the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

As suspected the announcement was a “technical error” and Tottenham confirmed the match was going ahead as planned.

And Spurs may have hoped the game did not go ahead, having lost 2-0 thanks to a late Sporting double.
