Fair? No. Innovative? Certainly.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to keep your team in the game and that’s obviously a philosophy that was held by a coach at Serie D side Jesina this morning.

When an Amiternina striker was bearing down on goal with the match level at 1-1 in injury time, Jesina coach Daniele Amaolo took the initiative that his defenders couldn’t by hoofing a second football onto the pitch to force the referee to stop play.

Genius.
