English second-tier football club Hull City’s staff had to use a buzz saw to cut down the size of their goalposts after match officials determined that they were two inches too big.
“The match officials have informed the club that the goalposts need to be readjusted and HawkEye recalibrated before the match can start,” Hull City said on Twitter, referring to the game’s HawkEye technology, which officials use to judge whether the ball has gone over the line.
Hull City added that the match, which was set to kick off at 1500GMT, was delayed by 20 minutes.
The 15th-week match ended with a 2-0 result in favor of Birmingham City.
Hull City are in 21st spot with 14 points and Birmingham City are 12th with 19 points.
