An unfortunate choice of words

Referring to a ten year old boy, delighted to have received tickets for a football match in the Euro 2016 tournament,  the BBC website chose the headline:

"NI stars call boy after seeing Euros clip"

Apparently footballers got in touch with the boy after seeing an online video of his delighted reaction, but when I first saw the headline I interpreted it quite differently.
