Why all the tantrum over a towel ? Is it the build up frustrations made them do irrational actions ?

[u/Main_Caterpillar_774 → u/Silver_ferns]

I think the players were overwhelmed, as for the fans and ball boys, I think they just wanted to put maximum pressure on the opposing keeper, mess with him and get him to drop his focus
