DTotD: Foggia take advantage of Gela's sportsmanship, brawl ensues

The match between Lega Pro Primo Divisione B sides Foggia and Gela over the weekend proved that no good deed goes unpunished and that the punishment for that good deed will start a massive fight.

With Gela up 2-1 late in the match, a Foggia played went down with an injury, so Gela did the gentlemanly thing and kicked the ball out of play so he could be treated. Well, the non-injured Foggia players saw this as an opportunity, so they immediately threw the ball back in and launched a quick attack on goal, which, after a bit of fancy footwork, resulted in an equalizer.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, instantly irate Gela attacked the Foggia players, sparking a bench-clearing fight that stopped the match with only a few minutes left to play. And that's how sportsmanship died.
