‘We learned with amazement and regret the score of the match in which our junior team scored 27 goals,’ Brogelli said in a statement.

‘The values of youth team football are antithetical to such a thing. The opponent must always be respected and today it has not happened.

‘As president, I sincerely apologise to the Marina team. Our board has decided, unanimously, to sack [coach] Mr Riccini.
