During a soccer game, meteorological phenomena can happen that make it difficult to play the game.
There were games with high temperatures, with abundant rains and even with snow.
What had not been seen was an encounter with a
tremendous whirlwind of wind
enveloping the protagonists in the middle of the pitch.
This happened in the amateur soccer final of the Achocalla League (Bolivia), where the teams calling themselves
Chelsea and Chapecoense
were about to play the final match that would consecrate the champion.
With the two teams and the referee lined up in line, a
strong swirling gust of wind
burst onto the pitch, sweeping away everything ahead.
The whirlwind blew some clothes and different objects as it went.
A scene that achieved epic thanks to the narration of the game announcer, who recited the phenomenon with the same emotion and intonation as a play that is about to end in a goal.
The viral story
"Oops, there is a whirlpool on the field of play, so that you can experience it live and direct.
The referee is going to eat it, he just ate it
. Fly something, fly one more thing, I hope it does not arrive for here, I hope to sustain everything we have in our place. The first time a whirlpool came, live and direct. This was not a tornado, "says the announcer during the narration, which became very viral on social networks.

Despite the shocking images and reaching the referee fully, there were no injuries or serious material damage to be regretted.
The match could be played a few minutes late and Chapecoense won 2-0.
Experts explain that this phenomenon is known as
'dust devil'
and takes place in areas with little vegetation where the sky is clear.
They are usually short-lived, although
their size can vary between 10 and 1000 meters high.
Reporter: It is going to
eat the referee ...
The Swirl: Look you as a
brother
Look at you as
Rapporteur: and ate no more
🤣🤣🤣

That phrase from the Draw MartĂnez
"Look how I eat you" ended up being one of the phrases left by the last Copa América played in Brazil.
The protagonist was the goalkeeper of the Argentine National Team, Damián Emiliano "Jugue" MartĂnez, when Argentina defined by penalties against Colombia the pass to the final of the South American contest.
The goalkeeper of Aston Villa, of the Premier of England, wanted to make Jerry Mina nervous, the coffee defender who opened the session from 12 steps.
With the stadium empty, the microphones picked up the words of the Draw, which ended up having an effect.
The shot of the tall Colombian defender, to the left of the goalkeeper, ended up in the hands of the Argentine.
With this provocative strategy and to get him out of focus, MartĂnez completed his night with two other saves.
It was the day the "Look how I eat you" was born.
Argentina went to the final, the prelude to a 1-0 victory against Brazil in the defining match, and the end of a negative streak without lifting a trophy, since the last one had been in the 1993 Copa América.
