Soccer players have been known to take dives, especially in the penalty box, on occasion when things aren’t going their way. But in a crucial Bundesliga game between Werder Bremen and FC Nürnberg — two sides stuck in the lower half of the table where the threat of relegation looms — Bremen’s Aaron Hunt did the opposite.

After it appeared Hunt tripped over a Nürnberg player in the box and was given a penalty by referee, he protested the decision. Hunt popped back up and admitted to the referee that Javier Horacio Pinola did not bring him down, and the penalty was waved off. FCN players lined up to shake Hunt’s hand after the play. Bremen led 2-0 at the time, and held on to win by that score.

In the same game, Nürnberg’s Hiroshi Kiyotake gave up a corner kick, admitting to the referee that he touched the ball last before it went out of play. Two shining examples of both sportsmanship and poor officiating.
