Crazy scene in the match between Pontassieve and Subbiano. To save his team from falling behind, the home side's coach ran onto the pitch during a counter-attack and rammed into the player carrying the ball. 

Rarely does a match in Italy's sixth-highest league go viral, but Pontassieve coach Marco Guidi managed to do it anyway. With an action that is as unsportsmanlike as it is curious ...

With the score at 0-0, the coach recognized the danger of the opponent's counter-attack, whereupon he had no choice but to push the Subbiano player over. However, the referee did not accept his gesture of innocence and Guidi was sent off with a red card. At least his team managed to wrap up the 0-0 draw, while he made the Italian headlines.
