Sportsmanship Is Alive! Player Refuses To take Penalty
SOMETIMES, professional footballers do the right thing. Take Costin Lazar (pictured), a journeyman midfielder who plays for Rapid Bucharest.
During a recent Romanian league match between Rapid and the mysteriously named Otelul Galati, Lazar was “fouled” in the penalty area. The ref awarded a penalty to Rapid, despite the protests of Galati’s players that the tackle was fair (it was).
Lazar clearly knew the ref’s decision was wrong, so he refused to take the penalty. The ref changes his mind and awards a drop-ball instead. What a refreshing change.
Watch the incident below…
He’s our hero.
