5 greatest sportsmanship moments in football

Miroslav Klose

Almost everyone knows about Diego Maradona‘s “Hand of God” goal. And then there was Luis Suarez‘s own version of hand of God when he used to stop a goal! But Miroslav Klose, playing for Lazio, decided not to use the God option.

Playing against Napoli, Klose scored off a corner kick in the 4th minute, giving Lazio the lead. The entire Napoli team were up in arms, so to speak, claiming that Klose had used his hand to score rather than the head, as it appeared. Though he initially went off to celebrate, Klose went back to tell the referee to disallow the goal, admitting that the ball did hit his hand.
