Moments before the ball crossed the line, Fada collapsed in the box, grimacing and appealing for a foul, claiming a penalty for alleged contact.

Seconds later the Argentine realized the ball found the net, jumped up to celebrate as if nothing had happened, and went on to win the match’s Best Player award for his display.
Aftermath
The moment capped a successful outing for Fada and kept him in sparkling form for the season.
