Pacos de Ferreira goalkeeper gets attacked by thin air in Portugal
Nobody comes close to touching Mario Felgueiras, but that doesn't stop him from going down in a heap
Pacos de Ferreira were leading 1-0 against Porto in the Primeira Liga on Sunday night when Felgueiras produced one of the most ludicrous attempts at time-wasting you will ever see.
As Vincent Aboubakar went to chase down a loose pass in the 73rd minute, Felgueiras pretended that the Cameroon international's studs had caught him... so feigned a foot injury.
Marvellous.
Felgueiras did receive a yellow card for an unrelated incident in injury time, but faced no comeuppance for his act of deception as the hosts went on to win 1-0.
The morale of the story? Sometimes cheats do prosper...
