Coronavirus: Soccer team loses 37-0 in socially distanced match

A German football team lost 37-0 to their local rivals after fielding only seven players who socially distanced throughout the match.

If Ripdorf had not played, they would have faced a €200 (£182) fine.

He added of his players: "They did not go into direct duels and observed the social distancing rules, keeping two metres between them and Holdenstedt players."
