By Jason Fletcher

Sporting CP’s reserve team was playing against Academica recently when something weird happened.

Sporting CP’s Budag Nasirov was warming up on the sidelines to get ready to come on as a potential substitute when a live ball came his way.

Instead of letting it go, Nasirov touched it with his hands and the referee made the shocking decision to award a penalty kick to Academica.
