Attack aborted
Magnificent fair play gesture generates enthusiasm
Soccer can be so beautiful! During FC Porto's league match against GD Estoril Praia (4:0) on Sunday, striker Pepe suddenly broke off a promising attack. The reason: his opponent went down injured. The Brazilian received plenty of praise for his great fair play gesture.
With the score at 1-0 to Porto, Pepe went one-on-one with Pedro Amaral after a long ball into the box. The latter suddenly went down in pain. Instead of running on goal with the ball unhindered, Pepe broke up the Porto attack.
Here is the video (click right):
He heard Amaral crying out, the Porto kicker described after the match. "If that had happened to me, I would wish that they would do the same," said Pepe.
"Hymn to soccer"
For his coach Vitor Bruno, it was "the greatest hymn to soccer": "I really like it when my players are honest with themselves and with their opponents. He made the right decision."
