Italian striker intentionally misses last-minute penalty

The Coppa Italia Dilettanti may not be the most glamorous competition in Europe it's contested by amateurs but the tie between Torres and Unione Sportiva Termoli has thrown up an unusual guilt-induced last-minute penalty miss.

Leading the match 1-0 (3-2 on aggregate), Termoli were given a dubious 90th-minute penalty when Vittorio Esposito went down in the box without being touched.
