The ultimate show of fair play.
For those of you who don't know, there is an unwritten fairplay rule in soccer(football) where, when a player is hurt and must be taken off the field, a player will kick the ball out of bounds. Now, if the opposing team of the player hurt gains the ball, then normally the opposing team will pass the ball back to the goalie of the team with the hurt player, so that the team who originally had the ball when the injury happened retains control of the ball. Now, what happened in this case is that the goalie was too far away from the goal and the person scored a goal. In the ultimate show of fair play, that team allows the other team to score a goal unimpeded, so there is no advantage gained by either team.
