Perhaps Allan Nyom assumed that he could simply run from his problems?

Either that or he felt the referee was out of shape and needed a good workout.

During Granada's match against Villarreal on Sunday, the Cameroonian right-back flew in on a reckless challenge and sent his opponent to the turf.

Sensing that he'd receive a yellow card for the foul, he immediately turned and ran away from referee Carlos del Cerro Grande. Nyom was eventually issued his warning for the foul, proving that the FIFA 94 method of outrunning the referee is not an actual workable method for avoiding a card.
