Levante accuses the women’s team of FC Twente of “unsportsmanlike behavior” after a dubious goal by the Tukkers. The Spanish club has filed an official complaint with UEFA, reports RTV Oost.
Last Saturday the clubs faced each other. FC Twente won 3-2 after a 0-2 deficit and therefore qualified for the final qualifying round for the group stage of the Champions League.
It concerns Twente’s 1-2, scored by Renate Jansen. Levante played the ball out due to an injured player at FC Twente. Twente then seemed to resume the game by giving the ball back to the opponent, but Jansen ran away and scored.
Watch Renate Jansen’s goal below.

A statement from the Valencia club said: “After collecting all the documentation, the testimonies of those present and viewing the images, the Secretary of the Board of Directors has filed a complaint with the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the unsportsmanlike conduct behavior of FC Twente in last Saturday’s match.”
