This particular match had some ‘history’ to it as it was between the local team El Ejido and a team from Burnley in the UK. The history is down to the fact that the coach of Burnley was the first coach of El Ejido until he went back to live in the UK. The two teams are good friends and this was the final group match to determine who went through to the knockout stages.
Burnley won and at the end the genuine friendship and respect came out naturally, and hopefully I captured it. For me the photograph shows the fatigue, respect and most importantly the spirit of the game of rugby.
