VIDEO: Serie D coach kicks football onto pitch to stop opposition striker from scoring

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1XGlKzDf4I
