Some players will do anything to win.
And other players will do anything to stop the the opposition from winning.
So we’re pretty sure what category Augsburg’s netminder Marwin Hitz falls into after his clever piece of gamesmanship in today’s clash with Koln.
The teams were tied at 0-0 in the 58th minute when Koln won a penalty.
However, before the spot kick was taken, goalkeeper Hitz decided to do some gardening in and around the penalty area with the heel of his football boot.
And naturally, after a trench being dug 12 yards out, Koln’s Anthony Modeste slipped as he took the kick.
And to add even further insult to the on-field lesson in horticulture, Augsburg took the lead from a dodgy free kick which they converted for a 1-0 win.
