Team allowed to score goal unopposed, game drawn
Print Edition
Sportsmanship was the winner when players with English third-tier team Doncaster Rovers stood by and allowed their opponents to walk in a late equalizer from the restart after the hosts scored by mistake on Saturday.
Following an injury to a player, Doncaster midfielder Harry Forrester tried to follow England鈥檚 unwritten sporting code by returning the ball to Bury goalkeeper Christian Walton, who knocked the ball out of play. Unfortunately, Forrester鈥檚 pass sent the ball bouncing over Walton鈥檚 head and into the Bury net in stoppage time. Rovers manager Paul Dickov then instructed his players to clear a path for Bury to score, and they duly allowed Leon Clarke to amble half the length of the pitch unchallenged before tapping home to make it 1-1 just before the final whistle. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 really think twice about allowing them to equalize,鈥 Dickov said. 鈥淚t just wouldn鈥檛 have been right for us to take three points in the circumstances ... you can鈥檛 win a game like that.鈥
