Many would have taken the easy way and taken the penalty kick but due to the terrible refereeing, US Termoli man Vittorio Esposito had a moment of reflection and realized that even though he went down quite easily in the box, he had to go against the referee’s call.
He’s a better man than I am. I would have taken the PK and played dumb. The reason I say that is because it was Termoli losing the match when the infraction was called inside the box. He left no doubt in the message he was looking to send to the referee as he blasted the ball far wide of target.
In the end, Torres would win in this encounter of the Coppa Italia Dilettanti saw all players involved embraced after the match.
