“It got very angry there. I think good 14 or 15 fines will be thrown away.
‘But I don’t mind Taranto, who loved for the first time and came to Sicily in Sicily for what he has done to Sewi – I understand that, no problems at all.
“Yes, he gave a 50 way, yes, he gave a goal away. But he stands up for a young guy when Sicily probably pushed it too far after he had the ball. ‘
Gunste reached his milestone in the third quarter and broke his second goal for the day as the margin grew to 49 due to the last change.
