Very sneaky this from Augsburg’s keeper Marwin Hitz as he tries his best to casually rake up the turf in and around the penalty spot without anyone noticing moments before Cologne’s Anthony Modeste stepped up to take his penalty.
Unsurprisingly Modeste went on to miss the penalty, slipping over just as he stuck the ball. The sabotage penalty proved to be decisive as Augsburg went on to win the game 1-0.
Hitz, for his trouble was billed €122.92 by the head of Cologne’s sporting venues. “With a wink, I like to pay my debts” soothed a repentant Hitz.
