FOR THE WIN

Some guy delivered match ball by flying on drone

Benfica claimed the Portuguese Cup title on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Guimaraes, but history was truly made before the match even started.

Some man delivered the match ball to the official by flying into the stadium on a drone. Who needs hoverboards when this is a thing that exists? The future seems exciting.

But let's not forget where we first saw this surfboard-like drone. It's the preferred vehicle of Marvel villain Green Goblin.

That's not a good sign. Let's keep this groundbreaking technology in the world of sports and away from comic-book villains.
